I don't think we can pinpoint a specific header that is "wrong" here, the
fundamental problem is that our header files are a bit messy when it comes
to recursive inclusion and we'd be better off if we generally were a little
more careful about including headers from other headers.
It's also very hard to retroactively clean this up on a large scale.
