    Description

      I found a regression in one of our ROOT macros which uses a number of global variables. The script worked fine in 6.06/08.

      Saving the following code,

      Int_t Layer{56};
      Int_t test() { return Layer; }

      as test.C and running it with root test.C results in the following error message

      In file included from input_line_17:1:
      /home/ritter/belle2/software/test.C:2:23: error: reference to 'Layer' is ambiguous
      Int_t test() { return Layer; }
                            ^
      /home/ritter/belle2/software/test.C:1:7: note: candidate found by name lookup is 'Layer'
      Int_t Layer{56};
            ^
      [...]/root/etc/../include/TMVA/NeuralNet.h:676:13: note: candidate found by name lookup is
            'TMVA::DNN::Layer'
            class Layer
                  ^

      I guess the problem is a using namespace TMVA::DNN in the top level of TMVA/MethodDNN.h but I'm curious why this file is included in the first place
