node_copy error, "QGraphicsRectItem is private"

[Ishmael]

I have two classes: "numberItem" and "numberLine".

The first is derived from QGraphicsRectItem. It works just fine by itself.

The other one is not really a class - more of a C-style struct - in the sense that all I would like to do is use it as a container for a bunch of related information. Among other things, I want it to contain an array of pointers to the first class.

Below is a simplified version of my code. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much!

First class:

class numberItem : public QGraphicsRectItem
{
public:
    numberItem(int cell_width);
private:
    int cell_width;
};
 
// Constructor for numberItem
numberItem::numberItem(int w = 5)
        : cell_width(w)
{
}

class numberItem : public QGraphicsRectItem
{
public:
    numberItem(int cell_width);
private:
    int cell_width;
};

// Constructor for numberItem
numberItem::numberItem(int w = 5)
        : cell_width(w)
{
}

Second class:

class numberLine
{
public:
    // IF I COMMENT OUT THIS LINE, IT COMPILES JUST FINE
    QList<numberItem> all_number_items;
 
    QList<int> all_x;
    int num;
};

class numberLine
{
public:
    // IF I COMMENT OUT THIS LINE, IT COMPILES JUST FINE
    QList<numberItem> all_number_items;

    QList<int> all_x;
    int num;
};

An the rest of the code:

numberLine get_num_line();
 
int main(int argc, char **argv){
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
 
  numberLine num_line;
  num_line = get_num_line();
 
  return app.exec();
}
 
numberLine get_num_line()
{
    numberLine x;
    return x;
}

numberLine get_num_line();

int main(int argc, char **argv){
  QApplication app(argc, argv);

  numberLine num_line;
  num_line = get_num_line();

  return app.exec();
}

numberLine get_num_line()
{
    numberLine x;
    return x;
}

When I try to compile, I get a whole litany of unintelligible errors:
