Yes, I already fighted a lot with such problems. The problem are the 
windows header files (windows.h). This header is polluted with lot of 
defines, max is only one. It's for sure very ugly and the source of lot of 
problems.

I personally ended up to include the windows header at last (after ALL 
other headers). Best is for sure to not include the windows.h at all or to 
minimize the usage of windows.h. There was also one case I needed to 
#undef something.
