Hi Milo,

The .h file should contain only what is required to allow the header
to be included, compiled and used by an "outside user" of the class
and nothing more.

This should compile if your header contains the necessary information:

// --- start of foo.cc

#include <lpi_itersum_ff.h>

// --- end of foo.cc
