I'm having a problem with includes. When I include in main.cpp a header file
that I created, the debugger gets passed main.cpp without any of the header
files included and this causes errors while debugging, such as undelcared
functions, so that I cannot compile the program. It also makes it difficult
to find other errors in my program. I have tried just copying and pasting
the header file and all other linked files into my code and it compiled
successfully, but I'm programming for a class and the teacher will not let
me copy and paste the header file into main.cpp for my final code. I'm using
version 4.9.6.0. Does anybody know of any way to include these files so that
I don't have to copy and paste, or does anybody know which version this
should work in? I've included my four codes below:

/* MAIN.CPP */
// Make a frog move so many steps.
// Created By: Gregory Hart

// Includes
#include "iostream.h"
#include "frog.h"

// Main function
int main()
{
 // Declare variables
 int position = 0, steps = 0, blanks;
 frog myFrog;

 // Get number of steps
 cout << "How many steps would you like the frog to travel? ";
 cin >> steps;

 // Print out frog
 while (position < steps) {
  blanks = 40 + myFrog.move();
  for (int a=0; a < blanks; ++a)
   cout << " ";
  cout << "*" << endl;
  ++position;
 }
 cout << "The final position is " << (blanks + 1);

 // End program
 return 0;
}
