Problem with Multiple definitions

purefan (16)
Hello all!

Im trying to have a simple function yet getting the error: 

multiple definition of `Assistant::getType(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >)'


Ive changed it as much as I can looking for a fix but havent found any, here is my code:

    }
    else

}


Any help please?

a Director.cpp, top part looks like this:

#ifndef _DIRECTOR_H
#include "Director.h"
#endif


and a Director.h, top part looks like this

#ifndef _DIRECTOR_H

- Typically you put include guards in the header, not around the #include statement.

- Never #include cpp files.

- there's no need to include guard cpp files because they're not included (or at least they shouldn't be)


Obligatory link: http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/articles/10627/ (see section 4)

Reading the link right now, thanks Disch
