Synopsis: When type YYY mapped to nonexistent XXX, only YYY mentioned in error message
Description
If I map a type YYY to XXX and class XXX does not exist, the compiler says "Unknown class YYY". Some mention of the fact that YYY really means XXX and that XXX is what is really missing would be very helpful. The current message is quite confusing. Root class and .ecf file demonstrating problem are attached.
