Description
### The problem
When including a header file with a custom class, the global type can't be set to that class.
This is the custom class I currently have in my header file:
```cpp
class CustomTime : public time::RealTimeClock {
public:
void setup() override;
void update() override;
void set_epoch_time(uint32_t epoch) { this->synchronize_epoch_(epoch); }
protected:
time_t time_;
};
```
The error I get is shown below.
