Unknown solution to error

I am getting two compiler errors in which it states that point and points was not declared in this scope and they both occur in RenderOrder.cpp. Since both structs are declared in my header files, would they not work since I #include both header files?

What do Point.h and Points.h contain? Could you paste the errors you're getting (you don't need to post full paths if you're getting them)
