There are only 3 reasons to #include local header files in other local header files. 1. derivation. Nothing we can do about that. 2. member variables. Use the pimpl idiom. 3. enums. Use this EnumWrapper proposal or something similar. (3) is often a necessary precursor to (2). It is pointless pimpl-ing a class if you still have to #include the objectionable header file to pass variables to functions. Ah well. It is all becoming academic, as I've run out of time to play with LyX. You'll just have to keep the inter-twined header files and painful recompilation when you change any header file in the src directory. Don't let me hear you complaining about such again however. -- Angus
