I&#39;m trying to check if a `lateinit` property has been initialized.  
In Kotlin 1.2 we now have the `isInitialized` method for that. It works when I do that in the class where the lateinit property is declared.
But when I try to call this from another class I get the following warning:  

&gt; Backing field of &#39;lateinit var foo: Bar&#39; is not accessible at this point

My model class (let&#39;s say `Person`) is written in Java  
Two other classes (let&#39;s say `Test1` and `Test2`) are written in Kotlin  

Example:

    class Test1 {
        lateinit var person: Person

        fun method() {
            if (::person.isInitialized) {
                // This works
            }
        }
    }

-

    class Test2 {
        lateinit var test1: Test1

        fun method() {
            if (test1::person.isInitialized) {
                // Error
            }
        }
    }
    
Any chance to get this working?  

My current workaround is to make a method in Test1 which returns `isInitialized` from the `person` property.  

    fun isPersonInitialized(): Boolean = ::person.isInitialized

    //in Test2:
    if (test1.isPersonInitialized()) {
        // Works
    }
