Class name not being Identified by the program

Nisheeth (545)
I was making a text based game in the console.

I designed a class named Player in a file Player.h
and a class named Moves in another file named Moves.h

Both are included in side the other (Player.h in Moves.h and vice-versa)
I did this because I needed some functions to retrieve data from the other class.

Like to see if the Player has energy to do the specific move in the move class, I did it like this:
bool Move(Player&);
And similarly the Player will have a set of Moves allocated to it, so the Player class has an object of type Moves.

But on compilation, I get the following errors:
fighters.h(16): error C2065: 'Moves' : undeclared identifier
moves.h(21): error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'Player'

The Lines where they have been used:
Move.h 
 
 
bool Cast(Player&);


Player.h 
 
 
vector<Moves> move;


Now I have checked that both the files have been included already.

Can any one Help me find the problem?
I can't see any reason for these errors to appear at all.

Enumerations includes all the enums I have used (Like Special, Movetype...)
