Best Way ? (Directx Related)
I would guess that you are not including the correct library files, or you are not including d3dx8.h in your files
I dont understand totally how you are calling your funcitons
can you give me an example of a function that is having problems?
If you have lets say a DirectX class where you do all your setup etc, and in that class you have
public:
LPDIRECT3DDEVCICE8 Device;
And another class say SkyDome and you have a function calles
InitDome(int size, LPDIRECT3DDEVICE8 Device)
{
Device->CreatVertexBuffer();
...
}
You should have no problems passing the device to that function.

Ok ive managed to get it working and this is what ive come up with(*note it works), feel free to tell me how i can improve it
*this is my actual code but its the same layout:

Put a pointer in every class.
The pointer is ALWAYS updated, cuz it''s a pointer.
You pass it in the INITIALIZATION functions, and keep a pointer.

OKAY
I would make D3D private and Device public.
Look at this line
void cEng::SetVars(LPDIRECT3D8 g_D3D, LPDIRECT3DDEVICE8 g_D3DDevice)
since g_D3D and g_D3DDevice are already class members, you dont pass them via functions.
Here is how I would handle things based on your class
cEng.h
EDIT: You should learn about classes before you try to do this!
