ifstream as global variable

gcampton (861)
I'm having trouble making this global and I can't figure out what Im' doing wrong. It was actually just a test SSCCI and still comming up with errors.
Error: as.h:line 12: ifstream does not name a type.
error:as.cpp: ifs has not been declared....has not been declared... has not been declared...etc

Is it not possible to have classes as global variables? or is there just a small typo somewhere?
