Hey, I have a struct called hasObject in "structs.h" and a class named Object in "Object.h". The class uses the struct and vice-versa: //structs.h struct hasObject { Object* pobject; Number numOf; }; //object.h bool addHas(hasObject hasob); The problem is visual c++ 2008 express doesn't recognize Object as a class. Actually, in the editor after I write Object it recognizes it in the main function, but not if I write it just after main(). I have tried Object::Object but it still doesn't recognize. I checked hundred times that the files are included correctly. The error is this: error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '*' on this: Object* pobject; Any help will be appreciated

Thank you!

The problem was indeed using circular declarations. I added "class Object;" and the problem was solved. Thank you for the quick reply!

I'm using struct hasObject since it stores not only a pointer to an object but also a number of how many times it can be generated, I'm writing a script language and this ensures that I can write in it, for example:

infinite is a number(+); //which means there can be infinite number of legs.
creature has #infinite leg; //[] - is a comment.<br><br>And then I'll have inheritance. I could write: 'spider is a creature' and it will inherit all creature's traits and it can modify this property of it.<br><br>Thank you.<br>
