Description

If inner static class extends some other inner static class that already compiled then compiler gives errors like this:

 -1: "methodMissing" implementations are not supported on static inner classes as a synthetic version of "methodMissing" is added during compilation for the purpose of outer class delegation.

No error when class being extended is in current compilation.
