Whenever I include this file more then once:

#ifndef GFUNC_GAURD
#define GFUNC_GAURD

#ifdef _WIN32
#pragma once
#endif

#include "DarkGDK.h"

// For getting the next unused ID
int GetNextID( )
{
	int temp = 1;
	while( dbObjectExist( temp ) ) // Found an id == temp?
		temp++;
	return temp;
}

#endif // GFUNC_GAURD

I get this error even though I've got include gaurds:

------ Build started: Project: Dark GDK - Test Game, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

Any help would be appreciated

Source code goes in .cpp files, not .h files!

Two files include that .h file, and you have TWO copies of the same function name.
This is what "multiply defined" means - more than ONE.
