I have never written programs in a very modular sense, but wanted to try
and start now.  However, I am having the following problem:

I have files bj.cc and options.cc
I put them both in the project.
Both files need to include a third file "fxtools.h" which has #ifndef's
&c.
Now, when I try to compile, during the linking, it tells me that
everything defined in fxtools.h is being redefined, even though it has
#ifndef's.

When I used to just include options.h from bj.cc (and have everything
from options.cc in options.h -- not the greatest programming practice, I
know..) I would have no problems with linking because the #ifndef's were
working properly.  Now what's gone wrong?  How do I get around this?

I thought writing code more modularly was going to make things easier,
not harder! <grin>
 
Thanks,
