the same would go for declaring variables: the compiler could easily
figure out the variable-type with a second pass. but it doesn't do
so since it would be confusing for the programmer! not all circular
dependencies actually result in meaningful code, so I guess it is
best to avoid all of them anyway. I too experienced this problem:
forward-declaration of a class who's declaration is located within
another class is not allowed in g++, it seems. but is is useful?
