struct String::Srep

Srep( int nsz, const char* p )
{
n = 1;

s = new char[sz+1]; //add space for teminitor
strcpy(s,p);
}
~Srep() { delete[] s; }
Srep* get_own_copy() //clone if necessary
{
if( n== 1 ) return this;
n--;
return new Srep( sz , s );
}
void assign( int nsz , const char* p )
{
if( sz != nsz )
{
delete[] s;
sz = nsz;
s = new char[sz+1];
}
strcpy( s, p );
}
private: //prevent copying
Srep( const Srep& );
Srep operator=(const Srep&);
};
编译出错的部分在这里
void check( int i ) const
{
if( i < 0 || rep->sz <= i ) // <-这一句编译报错： invalid use of undefined type `struct String::Srep'
{
throw Range();
}
}
根据错误提示，因为我把struct String::Srep的定义放在了下面，所以这里找不到struct String::Srep的定义，
可是如果我把struct String::Srep的定义放在String类定义的上面，又会提示找不到String类，到底该怎么办那？
请高手指教，谢谢
