You'll want to use the insertion points that are emitted by the code generators in the core implementation. There are some references to these in plugin.proto, but I'm not sure that we have a document listing all the available insertion points. I believe that these insertion points are available for each of the 3 languages:
includes class_scope:<msg type name> global_scope namespace_scope There's a class_scope for each type in the .proto file; the type name is the fully qualified message type. It sounds like this is the one you want to use.
