Why do I need to allocate space for myobject? doesn't that happen when I do myObject = new MyObject()?

And do you mean MyObject *MyClass::myObject?

No. That allocates space for an object, myObject is a pointer, not an object. You never allocated space for MyObject::myObject, the pointer that you said in the header file was going to exist. (This is to your first question. I'm not sure what you mean in your second question. Are you asking about the style issue of where the space goes?)
