c++ - Class instance variables inside of class cause compiler errors -

the compiler giving me following complaints following class:

class aguiwidgetbase {     //variables     aguicolor tintcolor;     aguicolor fontcolor;     //private methods     void zeromemory();     virtual void onpaint();     virtual void ontintcolorchanged(aguicolor color);     void (*onpaintcallback)(aguirectangle clientrect);     void (*ontintcolorchangedcallback)();   public:     aguiwidgetbase(void);     ~aguiwidgetbase(void);     void paint();     void settintcolor(aguicolor color);     aguicolor getbackcolor(); };   warning 13  warning c4183: 'getbackcolor': missing return type; assumed member function returning 'int' c:\users\josh\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\agui\alleg_5\agui\aguiwidgetbase.h  26 error   2   error c4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. note: c++ not support default-int   c:\users\josh\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\agui\alleg_5\agui\aguiwidgetbase.h  11 error   3   error c4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. note: c++ not support default-int   c:\users\josh\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\agui\alleg_5\agui\aguiwidgetbase.h  11 error   5   error c4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. note: c++ not support default-int   c:\users\josh\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\agui\alleg_5\agui\aguiwidgetbase.h  12 error   6   error c4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. note: c++ not support default-int   c:\users\josh\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\agui\alleg_5\agui\aguiwidgetbase.h  12 error   11  error c4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. note: c++ not support default-int   c:\users\josh\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\agui\alleg_5\agui\aguiwidgetbase.h  26 error   12  error c4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. note: c++ not support default-int   c:\users\josh\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\agui\alleg_5\agui\aguiwidgetbase.h  26 error   1   error c2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'tintcolor'   c:\users\josh\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\agui\alleg_5\agui\aguiwidgetbase.h  11 error   10  error c2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'getbackcolor'    c:\users\josh\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\agui\alleg_5\agui\aguiwidgetbase.h  26 error   4   error c2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'fontcolor'   c:\users\josh\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\agui\alleg_5\agui\aguiwidgetbase.h  12 error   8   error c2061: syntax error : identifier 'aguirectangle'  c:\users\josh\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\agui\alleg_5\agui\aguiwidgetbase.h  17 error   7   error c2061: syntax error : identifier 'aguicolor'  c:\users\josh\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\agui\alleg_5\agui\aguiwidgetbase.h  16 error   9   error c2061: syntax error : identifier 'aguicolor'  c:\users\josh\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\agui\alleg_5\agui\aguiwidgetbase.h  25 

this should working, i'm including headers classes.

this h file:

//integer point class class aguipoint {     int x;     int y; public:     int getx();     int gety();     void setx(int x);     void sety(int y);     void set(int x, int y);     aguipoint(int x, int y);     aguipoint();     std::string tostring();     std::string xtostring();     std::string ytostring();  };  //floating version of agui point class aguipointf {     float x;     float y; public:     float getx();     float gety();     void setx(float x);     void sety(float y);     void set(float x, float y);     aguipointf(float x, float y);     aguipointf(aguipoint p);     aguipointf();     std::string tostring();     std::string xtostring();     std::string ytostring(); };  //integer rectangle class class aguirectangle {     int x;     int y;     int width;     int height; public:      bool isempty();     int gettop();     int getleft();     int getbottom();     int getright();     aguipoint gettopleft();     aguipoint getbottomright(); };  class aguicolor {     unsigned char r;     unsigned char g;     unsigned char b;     unsigned char a; void verifycolorbounds(); public:     aguicolor(int r, int g, int b, int a);     aguicolor(float r, float g, float b, float a);     aguicolor();     int getr();     int getg();     int getb();     int geta(); }; 

thanks

i include main header in widgetbase , main header includes base types before includes widgetbase

it seems not including headers in right order.

c++ sensitive order in identifiers declared. compiler process source file (and #include-s finds along way) in sequential order , every (non-builtin) identifier, compiler must have seen declaration before can use it.
