FtInterface.h:

   #ifndef _included_FtInterface_h
   #define _included_FtInterface_h

   struct FtInterface
   {
      ...
   };

   #endif

function1.cpp:

   #include "FtInterface.h"

   void function1(FtInterface & fti)
   {
      function2(fti);
   }

main.cpp:

   #include <memory>
   #include "FtInterface.h"

   int main()
   {
      std::auto_ptr<FtInterface> fti(...);
      function1(*fti);
   }

I was confirming that the problem wasn't with shared_ptr, but was
more fundamental.  BTW, don't look at the implementation of Boost
libraries to help you figure out C++.  They are too advanced for
that purpose.

No problem.
