Hi all,

Just wondering if somebody could point me in the right direction.
I'm
trying to create a multifile project in Borland C++ builder for the
first time and i'm getting error messages saying that the body to a
function has been defined earlier. let me explain a little more
about
the structure, my program consists of

TWorld.cpp
Creature.cpp
Creature.h

what I want to do is seperate the classes for TCreature from the code
which I want in the header file. This is where the errors stems
from,
inside the TCreature.cpp.

For the creature.h file I have the
#ifndef CreatureH
#define CreatureH
#endif
to prevent the file from being included twice.

At the moment I have it all inside the header file and this works
fine. The other issue I have is trying to associate the instance of
a
class with the instantiation of another.
I want all objects of type Creature to have access to a look-up table
class called CreatureVision. This has a single instance of the
struct
struct Position
{
int mx;
int my;

}; and two, 2-D arrays, as well as two member functions so I need it

to be a class. But I only want it created once, so all Creature
objects can access its data. Could I use the static keyword and how
would this work as the two arrays are initialised in the constructor.
Also I read that static cannot be used in header files.

Thanks very much for your time and any suggestions.
Daniel
