Hello Brendan!


AFAIK, in the new definition of C++, bool is already defined as
	enum bool {false, true};

I had not any trouble to compile this small program

------------------------------------------
#include <iostream.h>

int main (void)
{
    bool b = true;

    if (b)
    {
        cout << "b is true!\n";
    }
    else
    {
        cout << "b is false!\n";
    }

    return (0);
}

------------------------------------------

And the its output was 

b is true!

as expected.

So, you don't need to define bool again.
