Quite the opposite - at least in the kernel source. The general rule is that a .h file shall include the .h files which contain declarations used by said .h files. But naked declarations as above is preferred over including a full header file. We see the full header dependency thing to blow off when inline function are used - which is more and more the case. In several cases we have converted inline functions to macros just to simplify the nightmare of header dependencies we have. Arnaldo have a nice script that generate a .ps file showing all the dependencies.
