There's a known problem that we can't yet do outer lexicals from
things that look like BEGIN blocks (in Parrot terms -- things that
happen at :load :init time). I don't know when/how this will
be fixed.

<masak> rakudo​: our $x = "foo"; class A { my $.y = $x }
<p6eval> rakudo 35519​: OUTPUT«Null PMC access in isa() [...]

Since the body of class declarations happens at BEGIN time, the
initialization of $y is occurring before $x is initialized
(or even vivified). Granted, Rakudo should not be generating
the Null PMC access message, but I also wouldn't expect $.y
to be initialized to 'foo'.

Ah, that'll likely be because $x = 3 gets run before the our $x...

This portion works​:
perl6 -e 'our $x; class Foo { $x = 3 }; say $x'
3

but the other part, not yet​:
perl6 -e 'my $x = 3; class A { has $.y = $x }; say A.new.y'
Lexical '$x' not found

But...

[12​:07] <jnthn> bbkr​: We don't do anything with my $.foo yet in Rakudo afaik

From @felliott

Hello,

This is working in current rakudo and is passing the relevant test. I'm
marking this resolved.

Cheers,
