The offending piece of wtypes.h looks like:

typedef struct tagDEC {
   ...
} DECIMAL;

which directly clashes with your own definition of DECIMAL in
URLHandler.h:

#define DECIMAL 1

The solution is to use a different name for your macro. The usual
recommendation to have macro names with low probability of
collision is adding some weird and hopefully unique prefix,
for instance some abbreviation of  the name of the library or the
company.
