Has someone experince regarding this why intellisense acts like this?

Put the directory back. I don't know where you saw that advice but you must have misinterpreted it.

Delete the .ncb file in the same directory as your .sln. That's Intellisense's database. You have to do the same thing with VAX, btw (albeit with a different method) -- anything that parses code to help you with it, can get confused with lots of code changes.

I've already tried to delete the .ncb but to no avail.

are you closing visual studio before deleting the file?

also, VAX does occaisionally get problems, but it has built-in features for clearing the cache etc rather than having to find the file to delete. It's also possible to get it to reparse a file.

#ifndef CLASS_H
#defined CLASS_H
#include some_include_files
namespace my_namespace{
   class a_class {};
}
#endif

(and the source/defintion goes in .cpp-files)

I used the process KungFooMasta wrote above and that fixed the problem with the invisible classes, however intellisense would hang each time I updated a class with a simple variable (like int foo;).

As mentioned above, you should only need to do the following:

1. Clean all projects.
2. Close Visual Studio
3. Delete .ncb file
4. Open Project/Solution in Visual Studio
5. Build all projects.
6. Give a little time for intellisense database to be built in background. Sometimes you can see intellisense being updated in the status bar.

If all else fails, commit to SVN, wipe your disk of all traces of this app, grab code from SVN, and build project(s).

namespace myNamespace {
class Foo;
class Bar;
}

#include "Prereq.h"
namespace myNamespace {
class Foo {
  public:
    Bar* bar;
}
}

#include "Foo.h"
namespace myNamespace {
#include "Bar.h"
[...]
}
