Re: header file help......

True; in most systems I work in, the use of the pointer means that methods or most
importantly virtual methods of the class will be called, and therefore the header is
needed anyway.

Compilation time is an irrelevant consideration in the presence of #pragma once.
Therefore, it should never enter the discussion at all.

Joe:

#pragma once only prevents multiple inclusion in the same translation
unit. When you include headers in headers, changing the included header
can result in the recompilation of many translation units, perhaps
including some that do not need the header at all.

For large projects this can indeed substantially (and unnecessarily)
increase build times.
