Item 34: Minimize Compilation Dependencies Between Files

There are three technique to make a header file more self-contained:

  1. Avoid using objects when object references and pointers will do

This will avoid the need of including a header file

  1. Don't _#include_ header files in your header files unless your headers won't compile without them

Use forward declaration instead

Probably useful technique if the scale of the c++ project warrants it?
