If i want a circular reference but in two different files in C++, how would I implement that?

For example

AUnit.h

#inclue <BUnit.h>
class AClass : public TObject
{

   __published
        BClass * B;
};

BUnit.h

#include <AUnit.h>
class BClass : public TObject
{
    __published
        AClass *A;     
};

I can’t make it in only one file with forward declarations.

    I assume you’re talking about circular dependencies.

    The answer is indeed to use a forward declaration, such as:

    AUnit.h

    #include <BUnit.h>
    class AClass : public TObject
    {
       BClass *B;
    };
    

    BUnit.h

    class AClass;  // Forward declaration
    
    class BClass : public TObject
    {
       AClass *A;
    };
    

    You could even have a forward declaration in both header files, if you wanted.
