Does not name a type

[supperpiccle]

I have a class named backgroundObstacleManager that I created and another class Pit that have to interact with each other however I'm getting an error.

//backgroundobstacleManager.h
#include "Pit.h"
class backgroundObstacleManager
{
    public:
        backgroundObstacleManager();
        void update(sf::RenderWindow *app, Player *Jerry);
        int getGroundHeight() {return sprite[0].getGlobalBounds().height;}

        virtual ~backgroundObstacleManager();
    protected:
    private:
    sf::Texture texture;
    sf::Sprite sprite[100];//these sprites point to same image and using many sprites
                          //presented greater advantages than moveing it then redrawing

    bool atBeginning;  //if atBeginning == true then level needs to be init
    //lenght of all backgrounds are 6400 pixals(but stops at 5500) with increasing obstacles with each passed

    Pit pit; //THIS LINE GIVING ERROR
};

Pit.h
class Pit
{
    public:
        Pit();

        int begining;
        int ending; //begining and end of the pit
        int height;  //height of the ledge above to jump on

        void update(int heightOfGround); //in what way does the pit affect player(change to falling or etc.)
    protected:
    private:
};

The error is
/media/justin/Linux Data/Programming/C++/jerry and the magic bannana/backgroundObstacleManager.h|34|error: ‘Pit’ does not name a type|
anyone have any suggestions?

I included Pit.h to main.cpp and was able to create a variable so it must be something about declaring one class in another am i correct?

I found a solution on stackOverflow. For anyone who might have this problem in the future google "forward declaring c++" and you can find a solution pretty easy
