Redefinition of struct error, I only defined it once

Question

I really don't understand how to fix this redefinition error.

COMPILE+ERRORS

g++ main.cpp list.cpp line.cpp
In file included from list.cpp:5:0:
line.h:2:8: error: redefinition of âstruct Lineâ
line.h:2:8: error: previous definition of âstruct Lineâ

main.cpp

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include "list.h"

int main() {
    int no;
    // List list;

    cout << "List Processor\n==============" << endl;
    cout << "Enter number of items : ";
    cin  >> no;

    // list.set(no);
    // list.display();
}

list.h

#include "line.h"
#define MAX_LINES 10
using namespace std;

struct List{
    private:
        struct Line line[MAX_LINES];
    public:
        void set(int no);
        void display() const;
};

line.h

#define MAX_CHARS 10
struct Line {
    private:
        int num;
        char numOfItem[MAX_CHARS + 1]; // the one is null byte
    public:
        bool set(int n, const char* str);
        void display() const;
};

list.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;
#include "list.h"
#include "line.h"

void List::set(int no) {}

void List::display() const {}

line.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;
#include "line.h"

bool Line::set(int n, const char* str) {}

void Line::display() const {}

You need to put include guards in your headers.

#ifndef LIST_H_
#define LIST_H_

// List.h code

#endif
