try this:

::>      class a_class
::>      {
::>           // some stuff
::>      };

typedef class a_class* a_classptr;

::>      class b_class
::>      {
::>           a_class * pa_class;     // the first error... why ?
change to:

a_classptr pa_class;

or alternatively:

class a_class * pa_class;

::>           // some other stuff
::>           public:  b_class(int, a_class *);
::>      }

might work...
