Wow, I didn’t even think you could use ‘self’ in such a context, since you’re
not inside a method, just a closure. But it looks as though ‘self’ has type
'MyDelegate -> () -> MyDelegate’, according to the error message you got. I
can’t remember the associativity of ‘->’; it seems something like a function
that takes a MyDelegate and returns a function that returns a MyDelegate? Weird.

No, I don’t think you can access the instance that the variable is going to be
assigned to.

Why wouldn’t you just move the body of that closure into your init method?
Something like
func init() {
let config =
NSURLSessionConfiguration.backgroundSessionConfigurationWithIdentifier("myident")
backgroundSession = NSURLSession(configuration: config,
delegate: self, delegateQueue: nil)
}
(And looking at the code more closely, are you really sure you want to create
an NSURLSession for every instance of MyDelegate? Usually NSURLSession is a
singleton, or at most you’d have a handful of them.)
