  Hi,

I've got these objects of different classes that point at eachother like
this:
(first.h)
#ifndef first_h
#define first_h
#include "second.h"
class first {
private:
    second *pt;
};
#endif

(second.h)
#ifndef second_h
#define second_h
#include "first.h"
class second {
private:
    first *pt;
};
#endif

Well, this doesn't work, coz "second.h" needs "first.h" to compile, and
vice versa, or so it seems.
I know there's a standard trick around this, but my mind seems to be
rather foggy. Anybody out there with a proper solution?
