As others said, a complete example would help us to help you.  Anyway,  I am going to do  a wild guessing: did you maybe declared another "both" in your code?  I do not have a compiler at hand and I cannot check, but if I remember correctly in this case you get a "non visible" error because the two symbols hide each other.
