constant static public attributes

[Bruno Schneider]

Hi, I'm having problems creating constant static public attributes which 
depend on other objects of the same kind. The situation is:

-- color.h ---
class color {
[...]
    static const color WHITE;
}
------
#include "color.h"
-- color.cpp ---
const color color::WHITE(255,255,255);
[...]
------
color.o is generated by "g++ -o color.o -c color.cpp"
-- light.h ---
#include "color.h"
class light {
[...]
    static const light SUN;
}
------
-- light.cpp ---
#include "light.h"
const light light::SUN(..., color::WHITE); // the color of SUN is WHITE
[...]
------
light.o is generated by "g++ -o light.o -c light.cpp"

The application is generated by "g++ color.o light.o main.o -o application", 
but inside the application, the color of the SUN is not WHITE.

Is guess this is because code is generated such that the SUN is initialized 
before WHITE is initialized...
Suggestions? Advice?
