Glew won't initialize

Niven (114)
I'm trying to make a simple opengl program. I've just started it but am already running into a problem. The code compiles and runs but glew keeps failing to initilize. It says, "Missing GL Version". I've tried to figure out what I'm doing wrong but can't seem to think of anything. My code so far is:

    display();

    glutTimerFunc( 1000/FPS, Loop, 0 );
}


Edit:
Nvm; I figured it out. I had to create the window before calling glewinit

Just curious, if I want to make my own classes for my shaders (matricies, vectors, ect.), how do I add them to my shaders since they are stored in .txt files? Do I just write #include "Whatever.h"?
