	Sounds good, an example of how to do this is in the Bonobo IDL,
essentialy you need to use:


#if !defined(__CHILD_COMPILATION) && defined(__ORBIT_IDL__)
%{
#pragma include_defs parent.h
%}
#pragma inhibit push
#endif

IDL ...

#if !defined(__CHILD_COMPILATION) && defined(__ORBIT_IDL__)
#pragma inhibit pop
#endif

	It is best style to put this inside the Parent.idl in fact, since
then the includer doesn't need to know the gory details of getting around
the problem.

	You appreciate that this ugly hack is only to get around the
unfortunate neccessity of having generated code live in shared libraries ?

	You worried me enough to add a regression test to ORBit2
orbit-small branch, test/inhibit.

	HTH,

		Michael.
