need help with my .h, .cpp, and a class

Okay, i wanted to create a header file that had prototypes for a cpp file(file 1). The cpp file consists of a class(class 1) and its member functions. Both files have been debugged.

Now, i want to use that class in a new program(file 2). So, i made sure to include my header file. In file 2, i have a class(class 2)...
and i want to declare a private instance of class 1 within it. So, this is what i put in file 2...

...
const int num = 5;

class class2
{
private:
class1 name(num);
public:
...some declarations...
};

...

NOTE: The class1 constructor takes one integer argument

When i try to compile, i get these errors:
----------------
error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'name'
error C2501: 'class1' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
error C2059: syntax error : 'constant'
----------------

How can i get this to work? Any help would be appreciated.. thnx

error C2059: syntax error : 'constant'

what ever your defining as constant, should be like this:

Code:

---

const A;

---

not

Code:

---

constant A;

---

the error is most likely in the file1, so it would be easier if you would post both files ......

and 1 more question:

the error happens while the compiler runs right???

I actually dont have an const's... the argument was a number, i wrote const for clarity... but anyway, heres a more accurate representation:

----------------------------------------------
--------------------------------header file:

#ifndef HEADERFILE_H
#define HEADERFILE_H

#include <file1.cpp>

class1(arg);

void func(arg, arg);
void func();

#endif

--------------------------------file1:

class class1
{
private:

...funcs and vars...

public:

class1(arg);
void func(arg, arg);
void func();
};

class1::class1(arg argName)
{

...code...

}

void class1::func(arg argName, arg argName)
{

...code...

}

...other functions...

--------------------------------file2:

#include <headerfile.h>

class class2
{
private:

class1 className(arg); // <--- does this work?
...funcs and vars...

public:

class2();
...funcs and vars...
}

...class2 constructor and other functions...
-----------------------------------------------------

Am i going to have to use inheritence? the only thing is, i want class1 to be a member class of class2, without changing the code of file1.

Well, i fixed my problem... it was in the header file.

This is what i had for a protype...

----------------------------------------
void memberFunc(arg);
----------------------------------------

...When i should have had this...

----------------------------------------
void class::memberFunc(arg);
----------------------------------------

...Simple mistake, big headache: solved.

hm... now I dont know how(where?) to declare an instance of class1 in class2.
