Hey guys i am having trouble with creating a Parent class(gameobject) for two other child classes(player,location) both of the child classes can access data from the parent class, and work well independently but once i include the h file for the child classes together in main.cpp i get the compiler error stating base class unidentified and class type redefinition is visual c++ what am i doing wrong ? sorry for the formating

gamename = " Beta ";
gametype = " Not defined ";
gamesize = " Not defined ";
}
//primary constructor
GameObject(string name,string type,string size)
{
gamename = name;
gametype = type;
gamesize = size;
}
//copy constructor
GameObject(GameObject &obj)

gamename = obj.gamename;
gametype = obj.gametype;
gamesize = obj.gamesize;
