Hi!

I think you should make both classes Public, so they can be seen from
outside of the source files:

public class Persion {
   ....
}

and

public class Cusomer {
  ....
}

now the class Customer sould be able to access class Person.
Surprisingly i could compile both files with jdk1.3.1. what version do you
use?

best regards
