Does this apply to generic interfaces, or only ones where you have seen the declaration of the interface? The problems become a lot easier if you get to see the interface declarations first. References to functions imported from packages don't cause problems for that reason. The term "hierarchical reference" may be too broad here. Some cases are more problematic than others. A select of a member of a local struct could be considered a hierarchical reference down into the hierarchy of the struct, but clearly doesn't create the problems that we are discussing. The problems that Gord mentioned with hierarchical function calls in always_comb blocks may not occur with hierarchical references into non-generic interfaces. I don't know.
