Can a child module, i.e. a .cc source file, call a function in a parent program, i.e. the main .cpp program?

If so what do I need to do?
(without arsing around with inheritance if possible)

Make a .h file and declare all your functions, and make a .cpp file with the same name (well, unless you dont want to), include the .h, and define the functions.

When you want to call the functions, just include the .h

I figured that as you posted - C++ is very fussy in that everything has to be in a set order, ie the function I was calling obviously appeared below the preprocessor commands - which placed it after the function call - but it couldn't be identified because the compiler hadn't encountered it.

As you say, solution - bang function in header file and include before the .cc file is included.

Thanks
