Compilation problem in diferent machine

Question

Hi All,
I am having some problem in compiling my code in different machine.
The problem is that i have defined classes which access each other in a cyclic manner. e.g. class A access the class B, class B access class A and C while class C access A and B.
So it didn't give me any problem when i was coding since it was a step by step process so class B was already compiled when class A needed it. Now that i am doing the cmpilation from the scratch i am getting the above problem.
In C++ one can do a forward declaration. I tried that here but it is not working..
Could you guys give me any suggestions...
Thanks

I'm kind of confused by what you mean. You say you
can't compile on a different machine but it seems like
you are trying to use multiple inheritence in Java
which isn't allowed. Have you even got this to compile
in Java at all? Post some code.Hi JustLee,
By accessing a class i mean i am just calling the public memebers of that class I am not inheriting from that class.
here is a part of the code
There are 4 classes: RouteTable, RouteTableEntry, InterfaceList and InterfaceListEntry
the following code is in RouteTable
public static boolean IfEntryPresentInRouteTable(InterfaceListEntry tmpEntry){
Iterator r = routingTable.iterator();
while (r.hasNext()){
RouteTableEntry tmpRoute = (RouteTableEntry)r.next();
if (tmpEntry.ipAddress.equals(tmpRoute.dstIP) && tmpRoute.selfRoute == 1)
return true;
return false;
It access the InterfaceListEntry class. Now InterfaceListEntry, i have defined in a file named InterfaceList. And InterfaceList calls the members of RouteTableEntry and RouteTable which are defined in the same file viz. RouteTable.
So because of this cyclic accesing of classes the compilation is not going through
Does it make any clearer?
