Organizing Code
I've been thinking of reorganizing some code files so that any inline functions are put in a separate header file. This way, the main header file only has declarations. For example, class Foo would have the following files:
Foo.hpp
FooInline.hpp
Foo.c
One way to make sure that FooInline.h is included automatically is put an include in Foo.h, but at the bottom. Thus Foo.h would look like this:
FooInline.hpp would also have an include for Foo.hpp.
Is there any pitfalls that I need to worry about if I organize in this manner?

#ifndef FOO_HPP
#define FOO_HPP
#include "whatever_is_needed"
namespace blah {
class Foo
{};
} // end namespace blah
#include "FooInline.hpp"
#endif
FooInline.hpp would also have an include for Foo.hpp.
