Nothing wrong, just failing to use @class for its intended purpose. :)

Note that you don't need to include either .h file in the other .h file, although you could if you had some other reason to, once you'd used @class to handle the forward-referencing problem caused by mutual class references.

Sorry, I didn't read down into all the nested quotes. You already got this far. This missing piece is that you have to explicitly #import *both* .h files into *both* .m files. Alternatively, each .h file could #import the other, but would still need the appropriate @class statement to declare the class before it's referred to.
