Is there any way to "uninclude" a file in C++?

I have a class that is only used in one specific part of another class. It is not mentioned in any other parts of the main class. And I include the corresponding header at the top of a file.

Is there any way to "uninclude" the header after I've used it?

What I mean, is that after you "uninclude" the header with the class, references to the class would not be defined, and any calls to the class would throw an error when compiling.

Code:

// code section where "cubeData" should be visible  #include "CubeData.h"    void mainWidget::createGeoObjects() {    cube = new cubeData();    // ...  }    // #uninclude "CubeData.h" - ???  //  // code section where "cubeData" should be invisible  void mainWidget::otherFunction() {    cube = new cubeData(); // should result in a compile error    // ...  }
