    I found this problem very nasty, that's why I wrote that post.

    If you see compilation error in console TypeScriptError: Class 'X' used before its declaration. then you need to rename file, that contains class 'X', to something like 'aX.ts'. So the idea is to make this file compile before any other(alphabetization).

    Also, as a comment in the GitHub issue suggests, you can add a reference comment at the top of your file to guide the compiler:
    /// <reference path="IncludeThisFirst.ts"/>
