If you look at the line where this error points to, just above it
there is a nice comment that explains why you are getting this
error.

Also, in the first paragraph of Chapter 6, "Relationships", we read:

"Any supported smart pointer can be used in a data member as long as
it can be explicitly constructed from the canonical object pointer
(Section 3.3, "Object and View Pointers")."

So I suggest that you read about "canonical object pointer" in Section
3.3 and see if it will all make sense.
