You do not include cpp files in to another cpp files.
Also, a c++ program can have only one main() function.
If you are trying to play around with a program which has multiple files, You will need to have something like this:

file2.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "file2.h"


int printHelloWorld()
{
    std::cout<<"Hello World";

    return 0;
}

file2.h 

 #ifndef FILE2_H    <----Lookup Inclusion Guards on google, this is important concept to learn.
 #define FILE2_H

 int printHelloWorld();

 #endif //FILE2_H

file1.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "file2.h"


 int main()
 {
     std::cout<<"Demo Program";
     printHelloWorld();
     return 0;
 }
