truffle cant find contracts when compiling - solidity

Question

Im trying to compile my contracts but solidity cant find a method in a contract that I am importing and using in another contract.
I get this error.
/home/a/Documents/so/contracts/incidents.sol:188:9: TypeError: Member "burn" not found or not visible after argument-dependent lookup in type(contract Token)
Token.burn(_amount);
My import looks like this
import "./token.sol";
this is the function that uses the burn method.
function buyRep(uint _amount) {
uint repAmount = _amount.mul(3);
profiles[msg.sender].uRep.repToGive.add(repAmount);
Token.burn(_amount);
}
the contract the above method is in doesnt inherit the Token contract but when I set it to inherit from the Token contract and just do burn(_amount). I get another error. PLease help me understand this.
This is the function inside the Token contract inside token.sol.
function burn(uint256 _value) public returns (bool success) {
require(balances[msg.sender] >= _value); // Check if the sender has enough
balances[msg.sender] -= _value; // Subtract from the sender
_totalSupply -= _value; // Updates totalSupply
//emit Burn(msg.sender, _value);
return true;
}

Answer 1

Try adding is to derive from your token.sol contract. Derived contracts access all non-private members (state variables and internal functions as well). For more info on inheritance between contracts check out this article.
import "./ContractB.sol";
contract ContractA is ContractB {
function buyRep(uint _amount) public {
burn(_amount);
}
}
'
contract ContractB {
function burn(uint256 _value) public returns (bool success) {
require(balances[msg.sender] >= _value); // Check if the sender has enough
balances[msg.sender] -= _value; // Subtract from the sender
_totalSupply -= _value; // Updates totalSupply
//emit Burn(msg.sender, _value);
return true;
}
