There is always room for improvement ;-).

Now this is something I would really like to see a chapter
and verse from the standard please :-).

My understanding is that the standard makes no such
guarantee at all.

have headers include other headers(which may even include

:-) - take it easy - the OP has a way to go yet <G>.

As I stated in my earlier response, I agree with you in general,
but I don't think the OP is ready for that as yet.

In addition to what you've stated, I kind of like the idea
of a common abstract base class menu object, where I can
derive menu' and sub menu' from it, pushing them all back
into a 'vector<Menu*>'.

You could quite easily employ add and remove methods, print
sub menu', etc..., while providing dynamic menu' at runtime
from a file, for example.

Cheers.
