how to include header files more clearly in C++

Question

In C++, I have some header files such as: Base.h, and some classes using Base.h:

//OtherBase1.h
#include \"Base.h\"
class OtherBase         


        

Answer 1

You have to use header guards to avoid duplication.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Include_guard

For example in your Base.h add following:

#ifndef BASE_H_
#define BASE_H_

// stuff in Base.h

#endif

See this SO question for heard guard formats

#include header guard format?
