 A slightly simpler to read example is this:
 ------------------------------------
 template<int p> class X { };
 
 template<int n, int m> int f(X<n>, X<m>) {
   return f(X<n-1>(), X<m-1>()) + f(X<n-1>(), X<m>());
 }
 
 template<int n> int f(X<n>, X<0>);
 template<int m> int f(X<0>, X<m>);
 
 int main(void) {
    return f(X<2>(), X<1>());
 }
 --------------------------------------
 
 The messages I get are these:
 x.cc: In function `int f(X<n>, X<m>) [with int n = 1, int m = 1]':
 x.cc:4:   instantiated from `int f(X<n>, X<m>) [with int n = 2, int m = 1]'
 x.cc:11:   instantiated from here
 x.cc:4: error: call of overloaded `f(X<0>, X<0>)' is ambiguous
 x.cc:3: error: candidates are: int f(X<n>, X<m>) [with int n = 0, int m = 0]
 x.cc:7: error:                 int f(X<n>, X<0>) [with int n = 0]
 x.cc:8: error:                 int f(X<0>, X<n>) [with int m = 0]
 
 Note the last line with "n" vs. "m".
