Thanks for the prompt response.
Yes, that is the proble, but since each declaration file has 'inclusion
guards' I did not expect it to be a problem. What can I do to solve
this problem?
Again thanks so much!
Here is a posting with a little more info.

Like most projects, this class belongs to a group library. When
testing the class as an isulated class, the program compiles without
any problems, however, when adding rest to the library to the test
program, the compiler complains sying that class Person has been
previously declared. I know, for a fact, that there is no redeclaration
of class Person. What I believe is happening is that I forgot to close
a bracket in a try block or anywhere else, but the compiler detects the
problem as being a redefined of the class Person.
This is the exact error code message:

I guess the problem is with header file inclusion. are you including
the Person header in the io_base cpp and io_base header in the Person
cpp ? and does the person header has header guard? check these first.
please post the full gcc error
hope it helps
