I have a node which uses private node handle to advertise topics. I wanted to subscribe to a topic from another node. So I wanted to create another node handle instance. I tried to use getNodeHandle() but got the below error. Am I missing some include files? I have included nodelet/nodelet.h
error: ‘getNodeHandle’ was not declared in this scope ros::NodeHandle& nh = getNodeHandle();
I would recommend to read the NodeHandles wiki and the Names in ros.
If your first node define a nodehandle with a private namespace then if you want to have the same namespace in your second node you would have to define the nodehandle with the fully qualified name of the first one :
//In node A
ros::NodeHandle n("~"); //Consider the private namespace to be node_a
//In node B
ros::NodeHandle n("node_a");
You could also use a remapping in a launch file if you have one.

How did you declare it in your class? Try to post the more of the code if possible.
To use
getNodeHandleyou would have to actually use anodelet(thus derive your class from the class nodelet, define an onInit() method etc...) which doesn't seem to be what you want.
