Hi !
Perhaps there are FAQ's for, but how to search ...

I have three problems using templates:

1.)  Defining a template of a class, I have to define all of the functions in
the header,
      or the linker will not find them:
  
      Example:

      template <class TYP>
      class X
      {   
         void myfunc(TYP* p);
      };

      template <class TYP>  void X::myfunc(TYP* p)  {  dosomething(); }

      How can I realize this, I want to keep the functions separated in a
cc-file ?

2.)  how have I to write defining a templated class as a friend of another one
?

      class Y
      {
         template <class xtyp> friend class X<xtyp>;      //   ?!?!?
      }

3.)  how to declare a templated class in another headerfile ?
      The compiler will always find two different types of definitions !
      If I can't do this, I got problems in my header-structure, because things
      could need each other.

      template <class TYP>  class X<TYP>;                  //  ?!?!?

Hope to find anyone experienced who can answer me those questions.
