Just store a pointer to the MainWindow in your TableWidget and vice versa. 
That way you only need forward declarations of the other class in each header 
file.

i.e. in mainwindow.h

#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H

class TableWidget;

class MainWindow {
private:
	TableWidget* m_tableWidget;
	<other mainwindow stuff>
};

#endif


then in tablewidget.h

#ifndef TABLEWIDGET_H
#define TABLEWIDGET_H

class MainWindow;

class TableWidget {
private:
	MainWindow* m_mainWindow;
	<other TableWidget stuff>
}

#endif

Then when you need functions from the other class just #include the header 
file in your .cpp implementation files.

HTH,

Sean
