VC++ 6.0 with SGI STL and Boost

I'm using VC++ 6.0 with the SGI implementation of the STL. I'm trying to use the shared_ptr but when I try to include the <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> file I get about 40 errors. Most are related to errors redefining template functions. Its conflicting with the SGI STL header files but I'm not sure how to fix it. I keep thinking that I need to adjust the include order (Currently the Boost files are first, the the STL, then Microsofts includes. It doesn't matter where the Boost include directory is though I still get the same errors : 
this is a small sample 
--------------------Configuration: DryDock - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
AbstractComponent.cpp
e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\config\suffix.hpp(256) : error C2995: 'min' : template function has already been defined
        e:\programming projects\c++ projects\drydock\drydock\stl\stl_algobase.h(106) : see declaration of 'min'
e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\config\suffix.hpp(260) : error C2995: 'max' : template function has already been defined

        e:\programming projects\c++ projects\boost_1_29_0\boost\detail\shared_count.hpp(235) : see reference to class template instantiation 'detail::counted_base_impl<P,D>' being compiled

And it goes on like that to a grand total of 40 errors. I know its probably just something like the order of the includes or I need to add something to specify the namespace correctly. Has any tried using this combination of libraries (VC++, SGI STL, Boost) and gotten it to work? 
Thanks.
