Including POCO header files in Objective C ++. Mm file results in compilation error on Xcode 6

I see the following weird error if I include any POCO header file in the .mm file or .h file. If I include the headers in the .cpp file, then the project compiles successfully. Any help or sample code to make the POCO work with an objective C project would be noticeable.

Here is the code:

//File: test.mm

#import "test.h"    
#include "Poco/JSON/Object.h"

@implementation test
-(void)test{
 Poco::JSON::Object obj;
}
@end

      

        
        
        
      

    

Here is a screenshot of the error
