You mean, I think, is that the .h file declares, and possibly defines, only functions. If it only declares functions (probably the usual meaning of "export"), then I can't see how it can matter if someone includes it in another .h file. > What is your opinion?

But I'd understand if someone wants it done as a matter of habit. -- Ben.
