Well, those error messages don't tell you much. Basicly something in
the early stages (preprocessing) goes wrong, and eventually confuses
the linker. :(

Those are include-guards. Include file is only processed if
'_SOMEFILE' is not defined. In the second line of the header,
'_SOMEFILE' is defined. This guarantees that header files are only
included once per compilation unit. With a complex project, include
guards are a must. These shouldn't cause problems to the preprocessor.
