hi all

i have a bit of a prob with some 2 classes iv created

if say i have class A and class B.

class A hold an atribute of class B and class be Holds an Atribute of class
A. both are declared as pointers in each others class and iv used #ifndef
in both the .h's of each class.

however c++ does not seem to like me doing this. . .is there any way around
this . . i can do it with one class holding an instance of the other but if
both try to have an instance of each other it throws out loads of errors.

a little example is below

thanks for any help
Giz

#ifndef CLASSA

#define CLASSA

#include "classB.h"

class classA

{

private:

int iSomthing;

classB *B;

public:

int getSomthing();

};

#endif

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

#ifndef CLASSB

#define CLASSB

#include "classA.h"

class classB

{

private :

int iAnotherSomthing;

classA *A;

public :

int GetAnotherSomthing();

};

#endif
