The best approach is usually learnt with experience — the more you
code, the more you get. One of the rules is to avoid too many
inclusions and at the same time reduce indirect inclusions, so that
the headers which are guaranteed to be included by others shouldn't
appear. Another rule is that, for the headers (*.h files) the forward
declarations are preferable over the inclusion in case if the opaque
pointers are in use.
