 Hi Neil,
 
 just received your email:

 I agreed to close the bug report because I found a workaround but in my
 opinion it's not a "user error" :o. 
 
 >I _am_ sure the compiler is not at fault, so
 
 If I include nested heades and system headers and that causes parse errors
 in the SYSTEM headers of the Compiler this is by no means a user error !
 So why can you be sure it's not a compiler error ? 
 
 The programm seems syntactically correct (it compiles with no errors on
 different platforms with different compilers).
 
 >I'll close the PR.
 
 Anyhow close this thing, have a nice day ;).
 
 Viele Gruesse / Best Regards
