Your foo-bar example is ill-formed. The compiler can do whatever it wants.

It is commonly called "two-phase lookup" (though it is not named as such
in the standard) and is explained in section 14.6 [temp.res] of the
standard. Section 14.6.4 [temp.dep.res] deals specifically with dependent
name resolution.
Compiler writers have been rather slow in implementing two-phase lookup
properly, almost as slow as with implementing 'export'.

How is it different from your example, which you gave earlier? Also you
had a template function calling another template function, and the latter
being specialized in the context of instantiating the former. That's exactly
what I did.

The difference is that you are instantiating 'foo<int>' in more than one
place. When you do that, the instantiations must have the same meaning or
the program is ill-formed. In my example 'f<int>' is only instantiated
once. That example was intented only to demonstrate why an exported
template must be recompiled when code that uses it is changed.
