Wen resolving Demo::Function::test() and no function having that name is being found it's assumed that Demo is the namespace, function a class name in there and test a static method call. There's no way for the engine to see what else might be meant. So the result is expected and changing it woud mean to do major changes wich just creates new problems. johannes
