I am running eclipse version 20090920 and have a structure defined in the header1.h file and have this file included in a second header file. For some reason when I try to use the structure in the second header file, see below.

private: nameofstruct samestruct;//trying to create a private copy of structure

I get the compilation error, does not name a type for nameofstruct that is defined in the first header file.

in header1.h file I have

typedef struct {
int a;
}nameofstruct;

in header 2 file I have include header1.h above the class definition.

private: nameofstruct samestruct;//trying to create a private copy of structure nameofstruct called samestruct.

I get the error nameofstruct does not name a type in the line above.

any ideas, thanks?
