Thread: Compiler error C2370 and C2011

Working on a solution involving inheritance. The whole solution is pretty massive at this point so I'll just focus on the problem areas. I'm getting a lot of "redefinition" and "undefined class type" compiler errors, including C2370, 2011, 2504, and 2027, in Benefit.h, Employee.h (the constant members are a big occurance) I'm also getting 2027 and 2079 in EmployeeMain.cpp. with my Benefit and Employee object calls.

Clearly I missed something in about how to code this correctly. Sadly the course textbook focuses on general OOP theory instead on the accompanying C++ syntax.

Can anyone give me a hand with this?
Thanks.

Benefit.h

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>  
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

static const double Min_Life = 0;
static const double Max_Life = 1000000;
static const int Min_Vacation = 0;
static const int Max_Vacation = 365;

class Benefit
{
private:
    string HealthInsurance;
    double LifeInsurance;
    int Vacation;
    
public:
    Benefit();
    Benefit(string health, double life, int vac);
    void displayBenefits();
    string getHealthInsurance();
    void setHealthInsurance(string health);
    double getLifeInsurance();
    void setLifeInsurance(double life);
    int getVacation();
    void setVacation(int vac);
};

Employee.h

Code:

#include "Benefit.h"

const int Max_Depend = 10;
const int Min_Depend = 0;
const double Max_Salary = 250000;
const double Min_Salary = 20000;
const char Default_Gender = 'U';

class Employee
{
protected:
    string FirstName, LastName;
    char Gender;
    int Dependent;
    double AnnualSalary;
    Benefit benefit;

private:
    static int numEmployees;
    
public:
    Employee();
    Employee(string fName, string lName, char gen, int depend, double salary, Benefit ben);
    double calculatePay();
    void displayEmployee();
    string getFirstName();
    void setFirstName(string fName);
    string getLastName();
    void setLastName(string lName);
    char getGender();
    void setGender(char gen);
    int getDependent();
    void setDependent(int depend);
    void setDependent(string depend);
    double getAnnualSalary();
    void setAnnualSalary(double salary);
    void setAnnualSalary(string salary);
    static int getnumEmployees();
    Benefit getBenefit();
    void setBenefit(Benefit ben);
};

EmployeeMain.cpp

Code:

#include "Hourly.h"
#include "Salaried.h"

void DisplayApplicationInformation();
void DisplayDivider(string);
string GetInput(string);
void TerminateApplication();
int Employee::numEmployees = 0;

int main()
{
    DisplayApplicationInformation();
    string input = "";
    
    DisplayDivider("      EMPLOYEE #1      ");
    cout << endl;
    
    Benefit benefit1("Atena", 250000, 45);
    Employee emp1("John","Jones",'M', 3, 100000, benefit1);

    emp1.Employee::displayEmployee();

    DisplayDivider("Number of Employees");
    cout << "Number of employees: " << Employee::getnumEmployees() << endl;
    cout << endl;

    DisplayDivider("      EMPLOYEE #2      ");
    cout << endl;
    
    Benefit benefit2("Blue Cross", 250000, 90);
    Salaried emp2("Mary", "Smith", 'F', 4, 50000, benefit2, 2);
    
    emp2.Salaried::displayEmployee();

    DisplayDivider("Number of Employees");
    cout << "Number of employees: " << Employee::getnumEmployees() << endl;
    cout << endl;

    DisplayDivider("      EMPLOYEE #3      ");
    cout << endl;
    
    Benefit benefit3("Cigna", 500000, 60);
    Hourly emp3("Tom", "Jones", 'M', 5, 25,    40, benefit3, "FT");

    emp3.Hourly::displayEmployee();

    DisplayDivider("Number of Employees");
    cout << "Number of employees: " << Employee::getnumEmployees() << endl;
    cout << endl;

    TerminateApplication();
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

void DisplayApplicationInformation()
{
    cout << endl;
    cout << "Welcome to the Employee Class Program" << endl;
    cout << "CIS247C, Week5 Lab" << endl;
    cout << "Developer: John Worley" << endl;
    cout << endl;
}

void DisplayDivider(string outputTitle)
{
    cout << setw(12) << outputTitle << setw(12) << endl;
    cout << "-----------------------" << endl;
}

string GetInput(string input) //general input function; takes input as string
{
    cout << "Enter " << input << ": ";   // no endl, in order to allow input on same line
    getline(cin, input);
    return input;
}

void TerminateApplication() // terminate program message
{
    cout << "Thank you for using the Employee class program" << endl;
    cout << "Program terminating" << endl;
    cout << "Good-Bye" << endl;
    cout << endl;
}

Thanks for the input guys. I looked over what y'all suggested and have it compiled now.
