Try putting your DECLARE__ and IMPLEMENT__ macros at the end of (or at least after) the declarations themselves--they are macros that are run during the preprocessing phase, and it's possible that they are not correctly munging up their needed output due to the position within your files.

Unless I'm totally off, this may be your problem:

typedef GameBaseData ParentData;

It should be:

typedef GameBaseData Parent;

This would explain your problems on a new instance.

After playing around commenting bits out it seems I have been barking up the wrong tree, the problem seems to be in one of the functions it calls,sorry about that
