The compiler always will read one header first. But this header
already needs the other one.

One of them is enough, if you know wich is read first.
in cvector.hh, but I am 100% sure this will lead

No. First, you only use references, wich are in fact some sort of
pointers. Then in the first step the compiler needs only to know
which names are defined. The exact memory calculation is done later.
(If you are interestet in the exact point read the gcc info files)
