A.h looks something like:

struct B:C{
size_t x;
D *e();
}

class A{
...............
C *f;
size_t xa;
C *h;
..............
}




Now, inside of A.cpp has the constructor looks like:

A::A(){
h = new B;
}

Now, why is this not a valid statement inisde the constructor ---->
h->x = xa ?

The idea is that class C doesn't know, there is a variable called x
(remember that you declared h of type C), so this statement isn't
acceptable
