typedef with same name in different classes Objective-C

I have this typedef:

//MyClass_1.h

typedef enum
{
   edit,
   copy,
   paste
} textAction;

and when I want this typedef in MyClass_2.h:

//MyClass_2.h

typedef enum
{
   edit,
   copy,
   paste
} textAction;

I have error: Typedef redefinition with types ('enum textAction' vs 'enum textAction'). In MyClass_2.h I didn't use #import MyClass_2!!! Why I have this mistake?

use the same enum in both classes. put the enum in a .h file and include it in both other .h this way the exact same enum is prepared for the compiler.

the way you use it, it is 2 different (but same looking) enums for the linker/compiler and stuff.
