expected class-name before { token in multi file project

I am a begginer in C++ . I am coding a multi file project and I encountered a bug I don't know how to work around . I am inherting from a base class of ModelUser which has the general info for a user account with a class that Is called NUser ,I am basically using polymorphism here. the error :

In file included from Score.hpp:5,
                 from Recipe.hpp:6,
                 from UserModel.hpp:6,
                 from Chef.hpp:1,
                 from Menu.hpp:6,
                 from main.cpp:2:
Normal_User.hpp:11:1: error: expected class-name before ‘{’ token
   11 | {
      | ^
make: *** [Makefile:7: main.o] Error 1

My code stops compiling when it hits class Nuser : public UserModel and tells me It needs a class name before the in line 11 of Normal_User.hpp ' } ' . I searched around for the cause of this error and it seems to ambigious but what I Found out was that the class I am inheriting from is not defined at the point of the file the error occurs in . I don't know the reason why the class I inherit from is not included at the time of compilation of this file , I have used the class in other parts of the code and at the start of main , I have include guards and I have tested around to see if they are causing the problem but I dont really know .

then I tried to do a forward decleration which I know won't work because I will get an incomplete type error . SO I am kind of stuck here , here is a look at my files , I am using Polymorphism from a base user for a Normal user when I get this error. I havent included certain files ,feel free to comment if you need any other source.

Should i Change my code design here , because I don't see where I have gone wrong Normal_User.hpp

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "UserModel.hpp"
#ifndef _NORMAL_USER_HPP_
#define _NORMAL_USER_HPP_
#include "Recipe.hpp"
class Recipe;
using namespace std;
class Nuser : public UserModel
{
public:
    Nuser(vector<string> &commands, int user_size);
    void see_recipes(vector<Recipe *> recipes);
private:
};
#endif

UserModel.hpp

#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#ifndef _USER_MODEL_HPP_
#define _USER_MODEL_HPP_

{
public:
    string get_username();
    string get_password();
    bool get_logged_in();
    void user_logout();
    void user_login(bool value);
    UserModel(vector<string> &commands, int user_size);
    virtual void see_recipes(vector<Recipe*> recipes) = 0;
private:
    int primary_key;
    bool logged_in;
    string username;
    string password;
};
