This is a beginners C++ problem and has nothing to do with Qt.

fhtread.h includes file.h and file.h includes fthread.h, and you can't do that. You can only do one way.

The proper solution in this case is to not include the other at all, but instead to declare the class. Like this:

file.h:

#ifndef FILE_H
#define FILE_H

#include <QObject>

class FThread;

class File : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
File(QObject *parent = 0);
FThread *thread; /// <<------------------ here is error
void test();


};

#endif // FILE_H



file.cpp:


#include "file.h"
#include "fthread.h"
...
