the gda-client.h file is provided to help programs by letting them
include just
one file. But you can always use the individual header files
(gda-connection.h,
etc). I'm not sure if this works right now, since I always use
gda-client.h,
gda-common.h, gda-server.h, but it's just a matter of including on each
.h
file the individual dependencies for each one. So please try it if you
like.

let me see...no, it's not yet
