I'm pretty new to programming and am generally confused by header files and includes. I would like help with an immediate compile problem and would appreciate general suggestions about cleaner, safer, slicker ways to write my code.
I'm currently repackaging a lot of code that used to be in main() into a Simulation class. I'm getting a compile error with the header file for this class. I'm compiling with gcc version 4.2.1.

I'm hoping the other files aren't so relevant to this problem. When I compile with
g++ -g -o -c a.out -I /Applications/boost_1_42_0/
Host.cpp Simulation.cpp rng.cpp main.cpp Rdraws.cpp
I get
Simulation.h:33: error: expected initializer before '<' token
Simulation.h:102: error: 'HostContainer' does not name a type
and then a bunch of other errors related to not recognizing the HostContainer.
It seems like I have all the right Boost #includes for the HostContainer to be understood. What else could be going wrong?
I would appreciate immediate suggestions, troubleshooting tips, and other advice about my code. My plan is to create a "HostContainer.h" file that includes the typedef and structs that define its tags, similar to what I'm doing in "Event.h" for the EventPQ container. I'm assuming this is legal and good form.
