Err, no.  Try the attached files, even though im definitely using
MC<double>::e in two different compilation units, this compiles and links
without a problem and even the address of MC<double>::e as determined by the
two compilation units independently is the same.

Just like template functions and inline functions, templated variables
generate weak symbols.  If more than one definition is present at link time,
all but one will be thrown away.

You only get problems if you (fully) specialize MC<double>: in that case
MC<double>::e is no longer a template and you indeed have to make sure that
only one definition exists in all compilation units.

Bye,
Jö.
