Won't read .h

[nayrb]

I wrote a program with classes. When in one file it works fine. But when i split them up into three the main program won't read the other two WHY?

.H FILE

// FILE w.h


#ifndef LUNAR_LANDER
#define LUNAR_LANDER

class lunar_lander
{
public:
       
   lunar_lander(float);//, float, float, float, float, float, float);
   
    // ALTITUDE AND ACCESSOR
   float alt(float, float, float);
   void setalt(float alt);
   const float getalt();

   // VERTICAL SPEED AND ACCESSOR
   float vvel(float, float, float);
   
   // FUEL IN TANK AND ACCESSOR
   float tankf();
   
   // FUEL FLOW RATE AND ACCESSOR
   float frate(float);
   void frate();
        
   // LANDER MASS AND ACCESSOR
   float massl();
   
   // LANDER THRUST AND ACCESSOR
   float thrust();

   // MAX FUEL CONSUMPTION RATE AND ACCESSOR
   float fuelconsum(float , float , float );
   
   // WHEN LUNAR LANDS
   int landed();
     
   // TIME
   float time(float);
   void time();

   float alt_;
   int count;
   float vvel_;
   float tankf_;
   float frate_;

IMPLEMENTATION FILE

#include "56.h"

       return t * fr * ml;;
       }

{
      return tankf_;
      }  
// TELLS IF THE LANDER HAS LANDED
int lunar_lander::landed()
{
   if (alt_<=0)
      return 1;
   return 0;
}
// CORRECTS IF TIME GOES BELOW ZERO

{
    time_ = 0.0;
    time_ ++;
    if (time_ <= 0.0)
    {
             time_ = 0.0;
             }
}

// FUEL RATE

{
   for(float i = 0.0; i < 1.0; ++i)
     frate_++;
     }
     
// MUTATOR THAT ALLOWS TIME TO PASS

            }
     else
     cerr << "What" << endl;
     }
   float thrust = 5000;
   float alt = 1000;
   float frate = 0;
   float vvel_ = 0;

MAIN PROGRAM

#include "56.h"
#include "56.cpp"
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    lunar_lander y(14);
    y.setalt(15);
    cout << y.getalt() << endl;
    getch();
}

THE MAIN won't read from the first two, but the implemention file will read from the 56.h.?

never ever include one *.cpp file inside another one. #include's are only for header files with *.h extension and often with no extension at all. If your program consists of two or more *.cpp files then each file should be compiled as a distinct unit then finally all object files and libraries are linked together. How exactly to do that depends on the compiler you are using -- each compiler does this differently.

O.k i understand. I am using Devx. Compiler do you have any idea how i should link the files together?

There's an "add source file to project" button or something similar to that (been quite a while since I used Dev). Once the CPP files are added, everything should work as expected.
