In my current project, I am using multiple sources for the first time, 
and having a very hard time understanding which bits should go where, and 
how the whole thing should be structured. I'm doing it mostly by trial 
and error, and it seems to have worked so far, but now I am getting a 
huge list of syntax errors in one of my source files which I can't 
explain. Here are the relevant bits of code:


music.h:

class musicsystem_class
{
public:

    JGMOD *my_module;

    void init (void);
    void play (char filename[32]);
    void stop (void);
    void close (void);
};


First part of music.cpp:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <allegro.h>
#include <jgmod.h>

#include "f_alli.h"

#include "global.h"
#include "music.h"


void musicsystem::init (void)
{
...rest of music.cpp


I get a huge list of errors when I try to compile music.cpp, starting 
with:

music.cpp:11: syntax error before '::'

I can't see where this error is. It's not in global.h or f_alli.h, those 
are mostly defines and the other parts of the program compile fine with 
them.


Also, what does the error:

field 'unit' has incomplete type

mean? The line the error refers to is:

class unit_class unit [MAX_UNIT];
