Objective-C issue - expected identifier or '(' before class

In my header file GuiController.h:

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
#import <APPKit/NSTextField.h>
#import "ClientSocket.h"
#import "UploaderThread.h"
#import "DownloaderThread.h"

/**
 * SER 321 Foundations of Distributed Applications
 * see http://pooh.poly.asu.edu/Cst420
 * @author Christopher Sosa ([email protected]), ASU Polytechnic, Software Engineering
 * @version December 2012
*/

@class AppDelegate; //compiler error
@interface GuiController : NSObject {
    AppDelegate * appDelegate;
    NSSound *sound;
    NSString *port;
    NSString *host;
    ClientSocket *mainSock;
    ClientSocket *songSock;
    UploaderThread *uploader;
    int ident;
    NSTextField *albTB;
    NSComboBox *titCB;
    NSTextField *authTB;

}
- (id) initWithDelegate: (AppDelegate*) theDelegate
               host: (NSString*) hostName
               port: (NSString*) portNum;
- (void) dealloc;

- (void) saveLib;
- (void) restoreLib;
- (void) addMD;
- (void) removeMD;
- (void) refreshMD;
- (void) playMD;
- (void) comboBoxSelectionDidChange: (NSNotification*)notification;
- (void) debug: (NSString*) aMessage;
@end

I marked the line that throws an error, even though there doesn't appear to be one. I am 99% sure the compiler is throwing the error just because it feels like it. Could you figure out the problem?

Check your DownloaderThread.h file. You probably have an error at the end of it.

Alternatively, GuiController.h is being imported from a source file that is not compiled as Obj-C or Obj-C++. Although I'd expect an error much sooner if that was the case (in one of the imported headers).
