 The abstract class worked like a charm! I think I had some weird include 
problems where they werent going in the order I needed them to and I couldn't 
trace it down. Firthermore I didnt want to redefine the class inside 
connection.h...that would just be silly. But an abstract class worked 
beautifully.
