When dealing with larger programs and your starting from scratch should you split classes using headers and the .cpp files from the very beginning? I am looking for a suggestion because I find 200-300 lines all on one file really annoying to scroll up and down or even when its split using the tool.

Jump to PostYou've hit the nail on the head. You'd want structure in your programs, especially if it's a big one.
In addition, separating the files keeps functions that are related confined to one area. Keep it simple.

I kinda figured this was the case but I just came across another thing... what if your dealing with several classes but as your developing your code "you seem to forget some of the functions required for the class" <-- i was about to post this and i still will as I just realized your classes pop up after you scope resolution, silly me.
