Does not name a type

[corey taylor]

I am testing a library build with 4.0 and am having a strange issue
with a typdef that I cannot explicitly tie to a c++ spec requirement
or point.

This is not the same code but the same sequence as the classes are a
little large:

file1.h:

typedef ReferenceCountedPointer< class VARArea > VARAreaRef;

class VARArea : public ReferenceCountedObject { .. };

file2.h:

#include "file1.h"

VARAreaRef area;

at the point gcc errors saying that VARAreaRef does not name a type.

It didn't error when VARAreaRef was used in file1.h later in the class
definition.
