I did not understand the functioning of #ifndef ?
I did not understand the functioning of #ifndef in infinite inclusions. Someone will be able to explain to me more (where it is necessary to put the # of the two files to avoid inclusion for example).

The # is to indicate preprocessor commands, in order to help create the proper environment for the program.
I the specific case of circular inclusion, you can create your own flags to indicate that you've already got what you need.
file1.h:
#define file1
#include <stdio.h>
#include file3.h
<header definitions here>
file2.h:
#include file1.h
<more header stuff>
file3.h:
#ifndef file3
#define file3
#include file1.h
#include <stdlib.h>
more useful declarations...
#endif
mainfile.cpp:
#include file1.h
#include file2.h
#include file3.h
The #ifndef statement protects you from going back and forth between the header 1 and 3 files, while allowing you to just list out the known dependencies without having to know and account for the circular references in the actual code files.
It's a good defensive technique, and something to keep in mind as your get into more complicated projects.
Did that clarify anything?
