A missing AddInstallable is just the common error, that's why I 
mentioned it.

Actually this mechanism is working very well with the copy statement, 
I'm not using it in the files section. So when the documentation says 
that a class is only set when the file is modified by the files 
statement, then the class is probably not set.

Maybe it would be an idea to add another keyword like 'warn_define' in 
the code which defines a class whenever a warning is issued.
