C++ syntax error.

Hi there, I''m having a very strange problem. The top of my code file looks like this:

#include <windows.h> #include <math.h> #include <time.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <ddraw.h> #include <dinput.h> #include <d3d.h> #include <d3dtypes.h> //#include <dsound.h> #include "Prototypes.h" #define D3D_OVERLOADS LPDIRECT3D7 lpD3D = NULL; LPDIRECT3DDEVICE7 lpDevice = NULL;

And as you can see I''m re-writing my game engine from assembler to C++ because I couldn''t get Network and D3D running properly in assembler without hundreds of hours of effort (Just to get it running let alone building the engine!) So anyhow I get the following error: e:\epsilon\d3d.cpp(16) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''lpD3D'' e:\epsilon\d3d.cpp(16) : error C2501: ''LPDIRECT3D7'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers e:\epsilon\d3d.cpp(16) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found Where line 16 is the obvious declaration for lpD3D. I also get this same error with my DDraw init stuff.... I never did before, and I''ve already had this running, what''s wrong? FYI I''m building an isometric engine w/ DDraw and D3D for acceleration... If your wondering why I have both sets of includes... Thanks, Ben
