    C++ templated class multiple inheritance from different unit

    I've a Class paramsMapCore
    Code:
    template <typename KeyType, typename ValueType>
    class paramsMapCore : public std::map<KeyType, ValueType>{
      ...
    }
    and another Class paramsMap that extends paramsMapCore
    Code:
    class paramsMap : public paramsMapCore<string, Var>{
      ...
    }
    both of this class stays in a different subdirectory called cgi
    and they are not in any namespace

    under that cgi Directory there is another Directory called jsutil
    which has a class Called Js::Object. All Classes in this directory are member of Js namespace.

    By the way I am using autotools to manage the build system.
    Code:
    namespace Js{
    
    class Object: public Js::JVar, public paramsMapCore<string*, Js::JVar*>{
      ...
    }
    
    }
    If I remove jsutil subdirectory from cgi/Makefile.am everything works fine and both paramsMap and paramsMapCore compiles and works.

    but here when I inherit paramsMapCore on Js::Object It gives Compilation Errors.

    Code:
    compiling object.cpp (g++)
    compiling object.cpp (g++)
    cgi/jsutil/../paramsmap.h:36: error: expected template-name before '&lt;' token
    cgi/jsutil/../paramsmap.h:36: error: expected `{' before '&lt;' token
    cgi/jsutil/../paramsmap.h:36: error: expected unqualified-id before '&lt;' token
    cgi/jsutil/object.cpp:34: instantiated from here
    cgi/jsutil/../paramsmapcore.hpp:38: error: conversion from 'Var' to 'Js::JVar*' is ambiguous
    cgi/jsutil/../var.h:177: note: candidates are: Var::operator int() const &lt;near match&gt;
    cgi/jsutil/../var.h:176: note: Var::operator long int() const &lt;near match&gt;
    cgi/jsutil/../var.h:175: note: Var::operator char() const &lt;near match&gt;
    Not getting any clue to identify the errors.
    Please help urgently everything stuck on this point.

    I think Its problem of Makefiles If requered I can post my makefiles.am too

    one thing I cant understand is when I can compiling the jsutil subdirectory its firing compilation errors from another class of different module.
    but If I just remove the jsutil subdirectory It compiles Fine..
    and I am using the paramsMapCore Class here so Why Its dealing with pramsMap Class.
