Thomas you must learn a little more about C++, anyways here is a little 
explanation:

1) Declare the classes on headers (.h files). One header per class if possible.
2) Make the implementation of the classes in .cc files. These files must 
include the needed header/s. All the member functions must be in the .cc file 
NOT in the .h file. Exception: inline members like that:

int XXXXX(int a) {foo=a;};

3) Link all the files together using a RHIDE project. List ALL the .cc in the 
project (no .h in projects).
