You might also try eliminating the code you think you're having problems with and seeing if it compiles with no references to that code. If not, fix things until it compiles again, and then work your suspected problem code back in. Sometimes I get strange errors about classes or methods that I know are correct when the compiler doesn't like something else. Once I fix the thing that it's really getting hung up on, these 'phantom' errors disappear.
