First off, modules are mostly on the way out. I have been working on removing most uses of those and plan to eliminate even more. The gnc_module code itself will remain until we have a better alternative.
Other than that, yes, you are allowed to include headers from other "modules". Or more generally from other compile units (the objects defined with add_library or add_object). There are other restrictions though: 1. you may have to add the proper include and library directories to the compile unit's CMakeLists.txt file. Without this the compiler won't find the header file (and later the library to link to) 2. In doing so you should be careful not to introduce circular dependencies. That is if unit A already depends on unit B, you can't make unit B also depend unit A. 3. reconcile-window.h is a C header file, while gnc-ofx-import.cpp is a C++ source file. You may have to include it inside an 'extern "C"' block. You didn't provide any details as to what errors you got, so at this point it's hard to tell what exactly went wrong.
