Parent function calling a child function with arguments

Question

Can anyone give examples of a parent function which has at least 1 parameter, and is invoked from the Form Behavior, which in turn , depending on data, invokes 2 or more child functions passing to these functions the same parameter that was passed in to it.
I am getting 'Object required' and do not know what I am doing wrong. Please let me know if you've done it, and how you've referenced it , if they are BOTH functions. Thank you!

The best way to do this is probably using delegates, but to do it directly you have to solve the circular dependency problem (as you have discovered). See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_dependency
In case it is not clear to you how the Wikipedia article relates to your case, your files should look something like this:
// Form1.h
#include "Watch.h"
ref class Form1: public Form
public:
void SomeMethod()
// implementation
private:
void SomeHandler()
Watch watchForm(this);
watchForm.ShowDialog();
// Watch.h
ref class Form1; // declaration only
ref class Watch: public Form
public:
Watch(Form1^ f1);
private:
Form1^ form1;
void SomeMethod();
// Watch.cpp
#include "Watch.h"
#include "Form1.h"
Watch::Watch(Form1^ f1)
form1 = f1;
void Watch::SomeMethod()
form1->SomeMethod();
