I've found a programmatic solution that I think should heal the lame and 
let the blind see.  Unfortunately, my compiler doesn't share the same 
opinion.  The situation is like this:

file:  a.h

     class a_class
     {
          // some stuff
     };


file:  b.h

     #include "a.h"

     class b_class
     {
          a_class * pa_class;     // the first error... why ?
          // some other stuff
          public:  b_class(int, a_class *);
     }

What I want to do is have a pointer to a_class inside b_class.  
Theoretically the way I would give it a value would be like this:

file:  a.cpp

     #include "b.h"

     b_class = new b_class(1, this);

The problem I'm having is that my compiler gives the first error as:
'a_class':  missing decl-specifiers.

My questions are:  "What are decl-specifiers?".
                   "What did I do wrong here?".
