My apologies Jonas.  Your first reply went to my 'Deleted Items' folder 
for some strange reason (probably finger trouble on my part.  I've never 
known it to happen before).  Anyway, to answer your questions....

I'm not actually using sockets.  I just gave that as an example of a 
situation where windows.h might get #included without the user being 
aware of it.

Yes - from my original example:-

              #include <windows.h>
              #include <giomm.h>  // ( or alternatively, #include 
<giomm/dbusmessage.h> )

      Creating a source file with just those 2 lines gives me the 
following compiler error:-

              dbusmessage.h(353) : error C2332 'struct' : missing tag name

Hope that clarifies things.  I realise of course that I could simply 
swap the order of the #included files but that's not an acceptable 
solution IMHO.  Whenever a program's behaviour (or ability to compile) 
is dependent on the order of #included files, that's invariably a bad 
sign in my experience.
