I migrated my platform from version 6 to 8. Then the following error occurs. Actually, I can comment out my definition to make it work. I just don't understand why c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\xutility is included I didn't include it by myself. Is this a system header How can I disable this header
Thanks!

JIM.H.
<xutility> is a subordinate header to other Standard C++ Library headers that you are currently using. I wouldn't worry about its inclusion.
If your own definition in global.h is redundant, then I'd go ahead and comment that out as you mentioned. If you still need it, then the classic resolution to your situation is to wrap it in your own namespace, and qualify min with it:
e.g.
double x = 0, y = 1;
double z = my_namespace::min( x, y );
