VC++6.0, ambiguous symbol.. fstream.. meh

I''m having this really stupid error all of a sudden. I''m working on this big project, with lots of cpps and headers. I have a couple cpps that use fstream just fine. So I''m makin a new cpp, and I try to create an ifstream object, but what do I get?? THis: error C2872: ''ifstream'' : ambiguous symbol. So I have been looking everywhere, can''t find anything wrong. This is the line: ifstream fin("pobjs.txt"); It is in a member function of a struct defined in the appropriate header file. So I was wondering, has anyone had this error before and knows what to do? I''m really hoping that it is something stupid that can be easily fixed.. and not some kind of horrible multiple-files-and-their-order etc.. Thanks!

Okay,, wow.. I put the using namespace std; in the .h that the cpps were all including, and changed it to , and it worked! Thanks!!! Before I had using namespace std; in the afflicted cpp file.. Thanks a bunch!!
