My first suspection is that you are probabely getting that error because of
the following name:

random_access_iterator_parent, that is here:

>   class iterator
>    : public random_access_iterator_parent(seqref<T>)

It is not a portable name. (I know it's probabely a template!) If you are
using a newer version of MSVC, it is likely that this new version doesn't use
that name as the parent of its iterators of type RandomAccess. Cehck it! And
if you are now trying to compile the code under a completely different C++
implementation, say BCB or GCC, the error should be obvious knowing the
portablity problem. To fix it, try to find the base type your current
implemetation uses to implement RandomAccess iterators. Having that done, if
the code you'r trying to compile doesn't contain other VC-dependant stuff, it
should compile.

Another suspection is to the name: seqref<>. Are you sure that it is in an
OK state? Is it declared/defined? ...

And the last one: It seems to that the following code

>    : public random_access_iterator_parent(seqref<T>)

should be replace by either

>    : public random_access_iterator_parent(seqref<T>())

or

>    : public random_access_iterator_parent<seqref<T> > //The space is needed
