I have the following 2 classes declared:

class TiledMap
{
public:
  TiledMap (void)
  {
    width = 20; //arbitrary starting map size of 20x15
    height = 15;
    size = width * height;
    data = new MapStruct[size];
  }
  ~TiledMap (void)
  {
    delete[] data;
  }

  int resize (const int _width, const int _height)
  {
    if ((_width <= 0) || (_height <= 0))
      return -1;
    width = _width;
    height = _height;
    if ((width * height) > size)
      {
	delete[] data;
	size = width * height;
	data = new MapStruct[size];
      }
    return 0;
  }

  MapStruct& tile (const int _x, const int _y)
  {
    /* FIXME: test for input out of range.  */
    return data[_y * width + _x];
  }

  /* operator[] exhibits implementation details
   * (that tiles on each line are in one array).
   * But it can be faster to access than `tile' above,
   * if indexes values are known at compile time. */
  MapStruct* operator[] (const int _y)
  {
    /* FIXME: test for input out of range.  */
    return &data[_y * width];
  }

 int  GetWidth(void) {return width;}
 int  GetHeight(void) {return height;}
 int  GetSize(void) {return size;}
 void SetWidth(int a) {width = a;}
 void SetHeight(int a) {height = a;}

 private:
  int width;
  int height;
  int size;
  MapStruct* data;
};



class MapClass
{
 public:
  TiledMap Tiles; //dynamic map 2D array
  int xstart, ystart; //top left corner at which to begin drawing
tiles
  int TileX, TileY; //dimensions of largest tile bitmap
  int SX_Tiles, SY_Tiles; //# of tiles that can be displayed in x/y
dir on screen

//S stands for Screen =)
	void LoadMap(char filename[80]); //reads in map data
  void SaveMap(int x, int y); //saves a map of size X x Y
  void InitMap(void); //initializes a map, only if not LOADingMAP
  void BlitMap(BITMAP *buffer, DATAFILE *data); //blits the map to the
buffer
};


the problem is that within my MapClass functions, whenever I try to
access any function of TiledMap (i.e. RESIZE or GETWIDTH), DJGPP gives
me the error: ERROR resize IS OF NON-AGGREGATE TYPE.  However, I can
take that aove same TiledMap Class, insert it into a new C++ file, and
run a test file accessing those functions withiout a problem.  How do
I fix this error???
