error: `root' was not declared in this scope

I have started working on binary trees. On the first example I get this error:
[Error] C:\Dev-Cpp\MalikChapter11\Example11.6\Example11-6\bSearchTreeType.cpp:16: error: `root' was not declared in this scope
[Error] C:\Dev-Cpp\MalikChapter11\Example11.6\Example11-6\bSearchTreeType.cpp:59: error: `trailcurrent' was not declared in this scope

I have included all the needed headers

#include "bSearchTreeType.h"
#include<algorithm>
//#include "bsearchTreeType.cpp"
#include "binaryTreeType.h"
#include<iostream>
#include<stdio.h> 

I can post all the files if needed to.
I only get those two errors

Regards,
while(current != NULL & !found)
Shall be written as
while(current != NULL && !found).

I have corrected that typing error. The same error still comes up
 
while(current != NULL && !found)
