For the purpose of debugging, I patched JFieldAccessExpression.java:

--- kopi-2.1B/src/kjc/JFieldAccessExpression.java	2002-07-16 03:53:34.000000000 +0900
+++ JFieldAccessExpression.java	2003-10-29 10:21:02.000000000 +0900

+    System.err.println("## " + ident + " isConstant(): constantPrefix = " + constantPrefix +
+      " field.isFinal()=" + field.isFinal() +
+      " field.getValue()=" + field.getValue() +
+      " field.getValue().isConstant()=" +
+      (field.getValue() != null ? field.getValue().isConstant() : false));
+    System.err.flush();
     return constantPrefix
       && field.isFinal()
       && field.getValue() != null

And I made a simpler test case:

bash$ cat x.java
public interface x {
    int aa = y.b + 1;
    int aaa = aa + 1;
}
bash$ cat y.java
public class y {
    static final int b = 3;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int n = 0;
        switch (n) {
            case x.aa:
            default:
            System.out.println("OK");
        }
    }
}

As you see, int aaa in x is not used anywhere,  but it is
essential: commenting out the definition of int aaa,  you
will see no error.

Then kjc prints the following:

As I said before,  the sequence of input files is important.
Placing y.java before x.java, you will see no error:

bash$ java at.dms.kjc.Main -v y.java x.java

[ parsed y.java in 2,150 ms ]
[ parsed x.java in 50 ms ]

## aa isConstant(): constantPrefix = true field.isFinal()=true field.getValue()=JIntLiteral[4] field.getValue().isConstant()=true
## out isConstant(): constantPrefix = true field.isFinal()=true field.getValue()=null field.getValue().isConstant()=false

Thank you.
