Care to give a quick summary of what the alternative is?
Forward declarations. Which may be in the latest Effective C++ but I read that two years ago so I'm not sure, but anyway it's been in every advice about C++ (and C) programming book for about twenty years now.
Or possibly the coward was referring specifically to the fact that forward declaring enums is now legal, since C++11, when it wasn't before (though Microsoft's compilers have tolerated it for years).
