Tim,

I have been stuck on this problem for almost two weeks. I have written and rewritten this code and the attached is about as tight as I can get it. 

The intention of this code is to support multiple getters (sources of information) and multiple putters (destinations for that information). Before I can support multiple getters and putters, I need my code to compile properly with a single instance of each. What I am encountering is "expected class-name before { token" error messages that I don't know how to get around.

All of the code is attached. Here is an example of what is failing:

class Controller {...}
class GenericGetter : public Controller {... <- COMPILE ERROR
class GenericPutter: public Controller {... < COMPILE ERROR
class Getter : public GenericGetter { ... < COMPILE ERROR
class Putter: public GenericPutter { ... < COMPILE ERROR

Please advise...
