Did you try to compile this? On my system it compiles without complaints (if 
you change the inlcude to include). What you are doing here is legal, but 
really bad style. You should never include a source file, always include the 
header files!
Btw: Which compiler are you using? Since when does gcc say "Error:" when it 
encounters an error?
