Hi,

I have a quite strange and fundamental problem. I have encounered this for several times, so far. But every time it happened, I edited the code to get rid of the problem some how, to the prejudice of the original strucutre of code.

Now I'd like to beat this problem.

Well. I have a project which is not the smallest one. There are some .h and .cpp files (surprise).

I decide to add some methods to some class. Thats why I had to add some includes. After adding the includes, the project cannot be compiled.

The compiler sayes: syntax error : missing ';' before '*' or similar statements. On my opinion, it is a implication of some problem in the includes. This is, similar compiler errors occure, when the return type of a method or type of an data member is not declared. BUT it certainly IS (in the include)!

I think, there is some problem in the logic of nested includes. I mean: #include directives can be found both in .h and .cpp files. One file includes the second, which includes the first and so on, and finaly some data or functions is not included at all. I am surely making scifi... but I really have no clue, where is the problem.

A one means of solving this is to make a class declaration of style:
class MyClass;
which sometimes solves the problem for me. This declaration of class I place in stead of an #include directive, and it really functions, some times, but I dont know why.

I am not sure if posting some code would be useful, because I really dont know, where the problem is... :(

Please, somebody anybody, HELP me! I cant sleep well until I find a solution.

Regards,
MartinCz.
