Well yeah, that's the problem. The units are all typedefs and constants so, AFAIK, you can't use forward declarations.

I'm hoping to perhaps do something similar to the runtime_unit.cpp example. I can declare all of the base units, so to speak, and then hopefully scale them as necessary.

I mostly want to be able to apply any of the SI prefixes to the metric units. Again though if I declare them explicitly, it takes forever to compile.

Thanks,
Brandon
