C circular dependency

by

Seems like you shouldn’t need to include anything in any of the files. A forward declaration of the relevant types should be sufficient:

#ifndef MapTest_vertex_h
#define MapTest_vertex_h

struct edgelist;

typedef struct
{
    char* name;
    float x, y;
    edgelist* edges;    // C++ only - not C
} vertex;

#endif

etc. In C coding, you have to write:

struct edgelist;

typedef struct
{
    char* name;
    float x, y;
    struct edgelist* edges;
} vertex;
