error C2143: syntax error: missing ';' Before '^'

Below is the class code. Thanks in advance

What I have tried:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "BAsterNode.h"

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collections::Generic;

ref class BAsterInfo
{
private:
	IComparable^ info;
	BAsterNode^ enlaceMayores; /* error C2143 */
public:
	IComparable^ GetInfo();
	void SetInfo(IComparable^);
	BAsterNode^ GetEnlaceMayores();
	void SetEnlaceMayores(BAsterNode^ enlaceMayoresP);
};

and th other class

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "BAsterInfo.h"

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collections::Generic;
using namespace System::Reflection;

ref class BAsterNode
{
private:
	BAsterNode^ enlaceMenores;
	List<BAsterInfo^>^ listaInformacion;
		int Find(BAsterInfo^ info);
public:
	List<BAsterInfo^>^ GetListaInfo();
	void SetListaInfo(List<BAsterInfo^>^ listaInfoP);
	BAsterNode^ GetEnlaceMenores();
	void SetEnlaceMenores(BAsterNode^ enlaceMenoresP);
};

Are confusing Pascal syntax with C/C++? Did you mean to use * or do you really mean to use a handle reference?

Looks like C++/CLI so the ^ would be correct.

Yep, that's what I meant by the handle reference.

BasterInfo includes BasterNode, and BasterNode includes BasterInfo; that may confuse the compiler.

Richard Mac Cutchan is right, you have included both headers vice versa and that is mistake.

I would rate this as "design error". So you better rethink the line where the C 2143 occurs.

The other solution is a so called "forward declaration". It means to declare the class name. (I hope it works as in C++)

Remove or comment the include out !!!

C++

//#include "BAsterNode.h

C++

class BAsterNode; // forward declaration of the class
