Problem passing pointer of own class to another on

Hi

I am using a Tracer class that encapsulate all tracing feature (serial lcd) My Lcd is rebooting when I pass its instance to UltraCmd

LiquidCrystal     lcd(7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) ;
SRF02 sonicsensor = SRF02(0x70, SRF02_CENTIMETERS);
FunctionalTasks   FuncTask                 ;
UltrasonCmd           UltraCmd                 ;

// ENTREES 

//
//  SETUP
//

void setup()  { 

      // SERIAL
      Serial.begin(9600); 


      // LCD
      lcd.begin(16, 2);
      lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
      lcd.clear();
      delay(2000);


      PinMng.setTracer(&Tracer);

      // pass lcd to tracer and tracer to all others objects
      Tracer.setLcd(&lcd);
      delay(200);
      // FuncTask.setSonicSensor(&sonicsensor);
      
      // UltraSonic Sensor
      UltraCmd.setSonicSensor(&sonicsensor);
      UltraCmd.setTracer(&Tracer);
      UltraCmd.setDistToOnRelays(80);

UltraCmd class

void UltrasonCmd::setTracer(Traces *TracerPtr) {

      if (  TracerPtr != NULL )
      {
            _Tracer = TracerPtr;
            _Tracer->Print("Tracer is available on UltraCmd instance");
      }
}

I see the trace just above.

#2 
      PinMng.setTracer(&Tracer);

Where is Tracer defined? Why do you have a variable with the same name as a class? They should differ in case, at a minimum.

Sorry, it is here.

// extern Traces            Tracer                   ;
Traces Tracer = Traces();
