This makes no sense; if there's only one definition, then define it
*outside* the typeclass. A definition *inside* the class is there to be
overridden by specific instances that need to do so.

That said, you haven't said what you are getting that is not expected, and
there isn't enough information here to really say what might or might not
be going on.
