The concept of a d-pointer is a bit weird at first, for sure ;)
You may want to take a peek at some examples to see how its done and steal 
some patterns of usage.
Most C++ libraries use this, but I suggest to take a look at kdelibs for 
inspiration.

And to answer your question;  yes, its Ok to just have a forward declaration 
in the header file.
