When the compiler finds the above declaration it thinks: "Ok, now I know
there will be a static Interface object named 'Interface::killer'
somewhere". Then you can do references to that object, like these ones: 

>     return (&killer);
>   } while (interface != &Interface::killer);

The error reported by the linker is because you didn't put a
"definition" in any module. You can put the folowing line in the
corresponding Interface.CPP file:

	Interface Interface::killer;

This will allocate the memory needed by the instance. Your linker will
be happy and that's all.
Bye.
