when it reads class cat, person hasnt been defined yet when it reads class person, cat hasnt been defined yet its a catch 22! what do I do? I prefer one file if it matters Im using msvc++7 class cat { person * owner; } class person { cat * firstcat; }

a) You need to declare the class
b) Semicolons are not optional.

class person;

class cat
{
  person * owner;
};

class person
{
  cat * firstcat;
};
