Details:

consider class c


classdef c
end


and class a, subclassing c:


classdef a < c
    methods
        function obj = a()
            disp('a instance created');
        end
    end
end


Then the following script:


a_i = a();

clear all
c = 3;
a_i = a();


produces this:


a instance created
error: class not found: c


on the second instantiation it reports the "class not found" error
