Hola Christian,
  You need to use forward declarations.  There is no 'typename' keyword 
in C++.  What the compiler is telling you is that it does not
recognise  the symbol as a typename, but it NEEDS a typename!  You need
to do this :
  
//  Forward Class Declarations
class A ;
class B ;
//  Actual Class Declarations
class A
{
   A(int a) ;
   B func1();
}
class B
{
  B(int a)  ;
  A func2() ;
}
//  From here on define your functions in a seperate C++ file or with
the  //  inline keyword in your header.
Best of Luck
Peter
