Why does 'Human' not name a type?

It was working perfectly fine until I added the People class and the People.cpp in my eclipse file. The error is in the three lines with the Human types in People.h. Here are the files.

People.h:

		Human search(std::string name);
		Human insert(Human newHuman);
		Human humans[];
};

	setPosition(position);
}


How do I fix this?

You have unnecessary circular dependencies.

"Human.h" includes "People.h" and "People.h" includes "Human.h"

So remove line 6 in Human.h

It's fixed now. Thanks!
