[SDL] error with 'multiple definition'

[Lilith Calbridge]

But he's trapped subsequent declarations.  On the first pass it checks to see if A_H is defined.  If not, it defines it.  The remainder is enclosed within the conditional.  On a second pass it should find that A_H is defined and thus will skip everything up to the #endif.  

The only other thing I can think of, except for the compiler not working properly, is that rem is declared somewhere else in the program.
