>IMHO, this is a very good way to organize things in C++. The h file gives the interface of the class (btw, this is the declaration, not the definition in C++) and the cpp stores the actual implementation (this is the definition). Only the h files are used by other classes/programs. So, if only the implementation is changed, only that class needs to be recompiled.

I prefer the opposite. Programming always seems to come down to esthetics.
