Re: anonymous namespaces and scope resolution question

I have the following declaration in a header file (MyClass.h)

//contents of MyClass.h
class MyClass
{
public:
MyClass()
MyClass(const MyClass&);
..
};
typedef std::vector<MyClass> MyClassVect;
typedef MyClassVect::iterator MyClassVectIter;
typedef MyClassVect::const_iterator MyClassVectConstIter;

//Contents of souce file (AnotherFile.cpp)
#include "MyClass.h"

namespace
{
  MyClassVector classes ;
  classes.push_back(new MyClass()); //syntax error : missing ';' before
'.'
  .......
}

The type of variable 'classes' is not recognized as a vector (as specified
in the declaration), but rather as an int (i.e. int
'anonymous-namespace'::classes).

question is - how may I use a variable of the types declared in
"MyClass.h" ?
