How to Inlcude STL::Map

[viveque.kumar]

How do I go about including an STL::Map in a C file?

Doing:
#include <map>
using namespace std;

gives me a lot of errors in VC7... Ofcourse it is because <map> is a
C++ header file...
Is there anything else I can do to use this STL map here...?

You don't.

If you want to use C code in a C++ program, C++ has features for doing
so. C has no features for going the other way.

You have your answer. Why would you include a C++ header in a C file?
C and C++ are two different languages.

Yes, implementing in C your own associative container.
