Hmm, I'm not saying that you are wrong. But can't find symbol is something different than forward referencing. Here you can find the symbol, but can't reference.

Something like this, you can't find the symbol.

Code:

public class MyQuiz {

     private int i = e;  
     private int j = 10;
     
     public static void main(String args[])
     {
          System.out.println((new MyQuiz()).i);
     }
}

Just compile and see the exceptions there.
