It's just a small thing, but have you tried re-building your code in 
Dev-Cpp using Ctrl-F11? This will force Dev-Cpp to compile -all- files 
again.

Dev-Cpp doesn't check if the header files have been changed, and it has 
(for me at least) lead to some strange behavior. I tend to do a clean 
build when ever I change large amounts of files, or modify any headers.

Hope it helps. =]
