Making the source smaller is the solution.
And by including fewer header files or less header file (I'm not sure which
counts exactly), that is what you are doing.
Also, of course, if your program is getting large, break it into smaller files.

I've run into the problem when with a source that was only about
500 lines long, but included alot of win and gpi stuff and I had to move
the code with the gpi calls to another file.
This really pissed me off since it was such a small source file.
