+The IDL compiler can how handle interfaces forward declared in one IDL

+Generation of template tie class declarations has been moved from the *S.h file to the
+*S_T.h file. The new SunCC 5.2 compiler does not require that template source code
+be included in the header file, but it does require that template declarations and
+implementations be in the same 'compilation unit' that is, the same header/source
+file combination. Generated ifdef guards prevent the compilation of tie class
+code if the target platform does not support namespaces. For such platforms, TAO
+maps the IDL 'module' keyword to a class instead of to 'namespace', and C++ does
+not allow template class declarations to occur inside another class. </li>
