The following program fails on recent dev builds and on 1.5.2. 

// top level package
public interface Interface {
    pointcut foo() : execution(* foo());
}

package user;

public aspect Caller {
    before() : Interface.foo() {}
}

>ajc Interface.java user\Caller.java
C:\devel\scratch\interfacePcd\user\Caller.java:4 [error] can't bind type name 'I
nterface'
before() : Interface.foo() {}
           ^^^^^^^^

This is a Java problem. After JDK 1.3 you cannot access types in the default package from a type that isn't. The following example will only compile (even in a vanilla Java project) when using "Compiler compliance leve: 1.3" (but won't with javac unless you are actually using JDK 1.3 not "-src 1.3"):

public interface Interface {
}


package user;
import Interface;
public class Caller implements Interface {
}
