iOS Question XUI Views causing compiler error

[CaptKronos]

I have a rather complex project which currently doesn't use XUI Views. I now want to use this library but on just adding XUI Views to the project (i.e. just selecting it in the Library Manager) and then compiling, I get the following compiler error.

I have tried creating a simpler project with the same libraries but can't replicate the error in
b4i_b4xlisttemplate.m.

I realise this isn't much to go on but does anyone have any ideas?

After ripping my project apart, bit by bit, I have found the problem. In one of my classes I had:

Type item(index As Int, text As String)

No idea why, but declaring a type called item clashes with XUI Views. Changing the type's names and everything is fine. It is possible to replicate this issue by creating a new project, adding XUI Views and the above type declaration.

I think it would be helpful if the compiler could flag up when a 'reserved' name is used in this way. I'll add the suggestion to Bugs & Wishlist.
