Even though I have a decent bit of professional experience with object oriented programming in Java and a basic familiarity with C, I've run into a bit of a mental block with C++ that I was hoping other developers could help me shine a light on.In Java, almost every time I define a class I naturally create a new .java file. Of course there are the exceptions of internal and anonymous classes, but by and large a new class means a new file. With new classes come packages to organize them and so on, and as I've started dabbling in C++ I've taken that same approach of one .java file per class and extended it to one .hpp file and one .cpp file per class. However, it seems that there are a lot of problems with this approach. The one that's been on my mind lately is like this:Say I have some kind of game where there is a class representing the game world and a class to represent the units. If the game world class has a method to get the unit at a location, that's all well and good. However, if I want to have a method for retrieving the containing world from the unit, the include directives won't resolve in the way that I'm used to building projects since each header includes the other. I know that there of course has to be a clean solution, and I want to know if some more experienced developers may have ideas on resources about C++ project organization, or on handling the specific construct I mentioned.
How can I effectively use one file per class in C++?
