Scala: order of definition for companion object vs case class

Question

In Scala 2.9.1 I get the following behavior:

class Foo {
   case class X()
   object X            // this compiles

   def bar() {
      object Y         // this         


        

Answer 1

This is a known bug: SI-3772: companions and method-owned case classes. This is partially fixed, but the OP's issue still remains. Vote it up if you want it fixed.
