Okay this thing is really starting to get into my nerves....
I have 2 classes
Application and ModuleVideo
my Application class contains an instance of the ModuleVideo, the thing is that sometimes at compile time my compiler tells me that ModuleVideo needs a reference which is strange as I have the proper #include "ModuleVideo.h" at the header of Aplication class
but heres the funny thing:
if I comment the class and recompile (gets me some more errors) and then I uncomment and try to recompile again EVERYTHING WORKS OK
why is this?
c++ compilation bug
sounds like you have two problems then:
- a dependency problem, regarding compilation
- a syntax problem too
how do you compile ?
can you show the source files ?

Don't paraphrase the compiler's error message. Please copy and paste the exact error message.
Also, what compiler are you using?

Try cleaning and rebuilding if that happens. See if if that helps.
Now you are not reproducing the full source. We are not psychic - we cannot divine problems in code we cannot see. Does Common.h include either Application.h or ModuleVideo.h, directly or indirectly? What does Common.h have in it?
Well what's in "//stuff" ? and in Common.h ?
A good thing in general is to reduce/simplify your *real* code, while still keeping the problem, and then show us the *whole* thing.

I will be very impressed if the problem lies on the code Ive omitted honestly
theres no way it should affect the compilation behavior, but what do I know...

Is the first file Common.h ?
If so, it's include guard is broken. After fixing it, I can make the thing compile.
(by the way, why is it including Application.h ?)
Looks like you removed too much code again. It's nice to simplify, so that we don't have to read pages and pages of code, but you have to keep the problem present (just test the simplified version before posting it).
Sometimes this process of simplifying will allow you to find the problem yourself.
