Expected class name before ',' or ';'

Question

Hi All,

I am getting an "Expected class-name before , or ; and I dont quite get how to fix it.

Here is where the error is:

class FXHost : public CPLAT::CP_Application, public CPLAT::CP_M_Listener 
{

The file is FXHost.h and CPLAT:: is obviously a namespace where CP_Application and CP_M_Listener are.

I dont see why this would be wrong. This code ran fine in Metrowerks (without the CPLAT::) but in XCode CPLAT is needed due to the way the code was written by the previous developer.

Can anyone shed some light on this error?

UPDATE: Here is a sample of the CP_Application class

template <class DOC_POLICY, class PRINT_POLICY, class UNDO_POLICY>
class CP_EXPORT CP_Application : public CP_Application_Imp
{
    public:
    typedef DOC_POLICY                  DocPolicyType;
    typedef PRINT_POLICY                PrintPolicyType;
    typedef UNDO_POLICY                 UndoPolicyType;

    CP_Application();
    virtual                 ~CP_Application() throw();

It looks like the compiler hasn't seen the class declaration for the two parent classes. The first thing I would check are your include directives. Are you sure you're including header which defines the classes CP_Application and CP_M_Listener?
