I have a Quaternion structure, and a Matrix4 structure. They are in different header files, and I would like to have constructors for both that take the other; for example: Quaternion::Quaternion(const Matrix4& matrix), and Matrix4::Matrix4(const Quaternion& q). Obviously, in Matrix4.h, I need to include Quaternion.h, and vice versa. Both files have inclusion guards, of course. However, I'm getting errors because, well, the names aren't resolving. The final real piece of information is that because I have several header files (Vector2, Vector3, ...), I have a header file (atma_math.h), which includes all of them, so only atma_math has to be included when someone wants to do any 3d mathematics. How is the linking (MSVC2005Express) happening, and how do I get it to work? I don't particularly want anyone to suggest different class architecture, because the solution to this problem will let me fix problems like this in the future, unless of course redoing the class architecture is the only way. Cheers.

Instead of adding a constructor to each class, try adding a constructor to one of them, and an additional toX() method.

e.g.

Edit: Oh yeah, and your method wouldn't work anyway, because the types are still being used inside the header class, which is the problem.

... d'oh! I did know the answer, I just couldn't find it inside my brain. Thanks for helping me find it.
