Yes, if the class in question is not otherwise 'include'd then it needs to be. You must have an 'include' of it in scope everywhere you reference it. Provided that it is not parameterized, it is safe to 'include' the class anywhere and everywhere that you reference it, though you may be able to reduce the number includes with some thought and planning. Be careful however: it is not quite right to say "include makes the class(es) in the file available." That's what 'import' does, and it looks like you have already structured things so that you don't need explicit imports (good form, that). 'Include', on the other hand, specifies that the class's resources should be included in the current node's catalog. To draw an (imperfect) analogy with C, 'import foo' is like #including a header file, whereas 'include foo' is more like calling a function.
