In the case of a package that contains several files, during the recursive
compilation from the top-most class, if a class (for instance PrintStream) is
used but not imported properly the first time, then this class is definitely
recognized to be a class of my package. The subsequent uses of this class
in other files, with proper imports, will fail.

From the email corespodence:
This is the test case:

--- test/Top.java---
package test;
class Top
{
    PrintStream stream;
    Interm o1;
    Leaf o2;
};
--- test/Interm.java---
package test;
class Interm
{
    PrintStream stream;
};
--- test/Leaf.java---
package test;
import java.io.*;
class Leaf
{
    PrintStream stream;
};

solaris> javac test/Top.java causes the outputs:

test/Top.java:5: Class test.PrintStream not found in type declaration.
    PrintStream stream;
                      ^
./test/Interm.java:5: Class test.PrintStream not found in type
declaration.
    PrintStream stream;
                      ^
./test/Leaf.java:6: Class test.PrintStream not found in type
declaration.
    PrintStream stream;
                      ^
3 errors
==============================
This type of error messages may confuse the developers.
