@class causing grief

Scott,

I notice that I get the AT_NAME compiler error when I've forgotten or mistyped a semicolon _prior_ to the place where an @ symbol is used. For instance, in the following code:

@class	SomeClassA
@class	SomeClassB;

@interface test : NSObject {

	SomeClassA		*someClassA;
	SomeClassB		*someClassB;
}


The compiler will report "parse error before 'AT_NAME' token for the line
@class SomeClassB;
yet the problem is on the _prior_ line -- the missing semicolon at the end -- and so the token "SomeClassA" ends up not being defined (which is why the compiler will also report "parse error before 'SomeClassA'" for the line
SomeClassA *someClassA;


HTH,
--Stuart

I'm starting to go in circles at this point.
I know I've got a number of interconnecting files.
Since I was getting errors I replaced the #import as much as possible
with @class defines

I'm still getting the following error:
error: syntax error before 'AT_NAME' token

This indicates @class myClass; in the following examples.
Most of these work fine but if I end up swapping #import instead then
other areas break the compiler.

Any suggestions on areas to look at (missing @end or something else?)

Thanks.

example:

#import <stdStuff/stdStuff.h>
@class myClass;

@interface anotherClass : NSObject
{

	myClass *theMyClassObject;

}

@end
