[Solved] Header files

[zodiac976]

This is probably a stupid question but how can I link
multiple header files using just 1 header file include
in my projects instead of including each and every
one seperately?

mainHead1.h, mainHead2.h, mainHead3.h

#include "mainHead1.h" //I want to be able to include head2 and head3 with it.

int main()
{
return 0;
}

Never mind I figured it out by just storing all includes
in a header file then use that header file to link all
other header files.

I think you would be better of #include-ing every one individually, that way your files are guaranteed to only link to what they need. If you need an include in an include (like you're using strings in your class definition), then you need to #include <string> using namespace std; inside that header. But still, you want to keep includes in every file to the minimum required.

Just as a side note: The last big project I was working on, I ended up somehow creating a circular dependency of header files (~5 different classes depended on each other). You'll want to avoid that at all costs as it can cause some pretty bad headaches.

So I am better off using the header files seperately?

Yes, include them one per line only where you need them.
