unexpected class?

I'm killing time before class and I've hit a problem with my console rpg. I declare a class player_t in file player.h:

Code:

---

#ifndef PLAYER_H
#define PLAYER_H

#include "map.h"

class player_t {
private:
  int x, y, hp, *numitems;
public:
  player_t(map_t&);
  ~player_t();
};

#endif

---

and I get these weird errors:

Quote:

---

h:\rpg\rpg\player.h(10) : error C2629: unexpected 'class player_t ('
h:\rpg\rpg\player.h(10) : error C2238: unexpected token(s) preceding ';'

---

I've gone through the code and I'm not missing a } or anything obvious, does anyone know what's wrong here or how I can fix it?

A problem in map.h perhaps?

Since map_t only shows up as a reference, you can replace the include with a forward declaration:

Code:

---

class map_t;

class player_t { // etc };

At least might help isolate if the problem is with map.h or player.h
