member function already defined or declared

I'm trying to compile a VC++ 6 program I inherited. I'm getting 157 instances of the above error message in my header file that defines my document MFC -- all from the implementation. The offending code snippet is attached. I changed the program name to protect the innocent.

// Implementation
public:
   virtual ~CMyProgDoc();
 
   // Overloaded Operators
   CMyProgDoc& operator =(CMyProgDoc& Doc);
 
   CMyProgTableView*    GetTableView();
   CMyProgExplorerView* GetExplorerView();
   CMyProgBarView*      GetBarView();
   CMyProgPieView*      GetPieView();
 
#ifdef _DEBUG
   virtual void AssertValid() const;
   virtual void Dump( CDumpContext& dc ) const;
#endif
 
// Implementation - copied from MyProg v 1
public:
   virtual ~CMyProgDoc();
 
   // Overloaded Operators
   CMyProgDoc& operator =(CMyProgDoc& Doc);
 
   CMyProgTableView*    GetTableView();
   CMyProgExplorerView* GetExplorerView();
   CMyProgBarView*      GetBarView();
   CMyProgPieView*      GetPieView();

Should be related to a duplicated header compilation, you should use some "guards" in all your header files:

someheader.h
#ifndef MYHEADERNAME_H
#define MYHEADERNAME_H

all your header code here

#endif

repeat the same for all your header files (.h)

Of course MYHEADERNAME_H should be different for every header file.

I copied the code as is (which is why I didn't think of that). Maybe I got a bad version.
