Consider use case, where your code is split between different modules:
module Base:
struct B;
module Derived1:
d( B* )
module Derived2:
d2( B* )
In this case, when you exposed Derived* you don't want to expose struct B.

mb = ctypes_module_builder_t( ... )
mb.global_ns.exclude()
fuse_lowlevel_ops = mb.class_( ' 'fuse_lowlevel_ops' )
for d in find_out_dependencies( [fuse_lowlevel_ops] ):
d.include()
I can't test the code right now, but it should look very similar to this.
