Getting tons of errors when including gl.h using MS PSDK in VC 2005 Express

I installed the MS PSDK for use with my IDE, MS VC 2005 Express. I want to use OpenGL with my project; this is the first time I have used the API with this IDE (I am still feeling my way around VC). Unfortunately, when I try to include <gl.h> (doing nothing with the actual API - just including the one header), 143 compiler errors occur, along these lines:


1>c:\msvc++\mspsdk\include\gl\gl.h(1152) : error C2144: syntax error : 'void' should be preceded by ';'

I am most confused by these errors. I have just been using SDL for most things OS-related until now with this IDE; I had to install the PSDK to use SDL, and it has worked just fine up until now. In addition, using the SDL OpenGL-related commands works just fine. Including <windows.h> generates no errors, either. If you need more information, just let me know. I am most confused by this. Thanks for any help you can give!

Include windows.h and gl.h in this order:

#include <windows.h>
#include <GL/gl.h>

EDIT: If you are using SDL with OpenGL, then include these headers:
#include <SDL.h>
#include <SDL_OpenGL.h>
#include <GL/gl.h>

I'm almost positive that <SDL/SDL_opengl.h> includes gl.h
