QML property of items can't assign to an instance of that item by id

// Bar.qml:
import QtQuick 1.0

Item {
property Text theText: myText
Text

{ id: myText text: "foobar" }

}

// Foo.qml:
import QtQuick 1.0

Item {
width: 800
height: 600
Bar

{ theText.text: "fixed" }

}

// The warning:
file:///C:/cygwin/home/ryan/foo/Foo.qml:7: Cannot set properties on theText as it is null
theText.text: "fixed"

I would expect that Bar.theText would work automatically. However, I guess that all properties are processed before the rest of the code. In this situation, I would suggest that the declaration of theText provide a compiler warning. Also, please update the documentation (qml-extending-types.html#supported-property-types).
