Does this pattern have any risk?

I define a template class like this:

template <typename A, typename B>
class SomeThing
{
    ~~~
};

ans I want to use SomeThing. Then that isn't neat, so I did this:

typedef SomeThing<X, Y> SomeNewThing;

However, I have some problem yet. The forwarding declaration of SomeNewThing will be this form.

class X;
class Y;
template <typename A, typename B> class SomeThing;
typedef SomeThing<X, Y> SomeNewThing;

It's neat. Rather than using of typedef, I try using inheritance.

class SomeNewThing : public class<X, Y> {};

Except inheritance, it is just an empty class. The forward declaration will be like this.

class SomeNewThing;

It seems that everything's gonna be alright. There are any risk I did't catch?
