Trouble passing an object as a parameter - c++

Question

Hey I'm trying to pass a class object that I have made into another class to read that data. The error I'm getting is c2061: syntax error: identifier 'Player'
This is my Player2.h
#pragma once
#include "DarkGDK.h"
#include "Input.h"
#include "Player.h"
class Player2{
public:
Player2();
void PlayerSetup();
void PlayerUpdate(Player& user1);
void PlayerHealthReset();
void Gravity();
float GetPosX();
bool CheckMatchEnd();
void PlayerFire(Player& user1);
void PlayerCheckHitEnemies(Player& user1);
private:
float Vx;
float Vy;
float PosX;
float PosY;
float Speed;
int Lives;
int Health;
//
int gravity;
bool playerJumping;
bool matchEnd;
bool playerIsFiring;
float playerBullet;
bool directionBullet;
};
And the error I'm getting is that It can't recognize Player even though I brought in the Player header.
Here is Player.h
class Player{
public:
Player();
void PlayerSetup();
void PlayerUpdate(float PosX2);
void PlayerHealthReset();
float GetPosX();
float GetPosY();
void Gravity();
bool CheckMatchEnd();
void PlayerFire(float PosX2);
private:
float Vx;
float Vy;
float PosX;
float PosY;
float Speed;
int Lives;
int Health;
float playerBullet;
bool playerIsFiring;
int gravity;
bool playerJumping;
bool matchEnd;
bool directionBullet;
};
All the respective code within the header file works 100%, as I've tested it.

Answer 1

player does not compile before player2 is defined, so placing class player above your player2's declaration will compile player BEFORE moving onto player 2.
class player;
class player2{
//...
};
-Also as Hunter McMillen suggested think about making player 2 inherit from a base class, maybe player that defines standard methods all players would use(I dont want to steal hunter's idea, i'll let him post answer about this if he pleases with a more in depth approach).
