When you create a static member of a class, you need to initialize it outside of the class:

    class test{public:    static int var;};int test::var = 10;

Could I ask why you are inheriting C_DDraw for C_StaticSprite?

A better alternative might be to pass in a direct draw pointer to your constructor of your C_StaticSprite.

Add an accessor to your C_DDraw to retrieve the current direct draw pointer.

I could be wrong but it seems you dont need to use inheritance at all. Try this relationship instead. I think this is what you are looking for.

class junk
{
protected:
int x;
};

class junk2
{
protected:
junk local;
};

hope that helps
