Hi Kas: My fault for not pointing this out: one contained a reference to the other, not an instance. But even when both are references, ChucK still won't compile it. Imagine you had a "controller" object that controls an "engine" object, but the engine needs a reference back to the controller, e.g. to query its state. This is a standard programming pattern. Here's how I would express it (and lose): ================= [file: controller.ck] public class Controller { Engine @ engine; } [file: engine.ck] public class Engine { Controller @ controller; } % chuck controller.ck engine.ck [controller.ck]:line(2): undefined type 'Engine' ================= There must be some ChucK-ish idiom that I don't yet understand. - Rob On 13 Mar 2009, at 04:35, Kassen wrote:

How does one compile cross-referenced classes?
Wait. Let me get this straight; you want a "scratch" to contain a "sniff" and a "sniff" should in turn contain a "scratch"? Yet that "scratch" will contain another "sniff" and that "sniff" will contain a "scratch" and that "scratch" will contain another "sniff" and that "sniff" will contain a "scratch" and that "scratch" will contain another "sniff" and that "sniff" will contain a "scratch" and that "scratch" will contain another "sniff" and that "sniff" will contain a "scratch" and that "scratch" will contain another "sniff" and that "sniff" will contain a "scratch" and that "scratch" will contain another "sniff" and that "sniff" will contain a "scratch" and that "scratch" will contain another "sniff" and that "sniff" will contain a "scratch" and that "scratch" will contain another "sniff" and that "sniff" will contain a "scratch" and that "scratch" will contain another "sniff" and that "sniff" will contain a "scratch" and this will go on forever? Is that correct?
I think I'm going to have to agree with Tom here; you shouldn't do that.
Let's take a step back and look at what you are actually trying to accomplish, practically speaking, and see how we could go about that.
Yours, Kas.
