From here it looks like Intrinsic.h includes Xos.h which includes sys/time.h.

Probably no to both, but I don't know what Xt software or o.s. you are running.

Agreed.  Header files often contain the definition of a preprocessor symbol
which can be used to prevent the error of including a header file more than
once, by wrapping the include.  

#ifndef __XTIME__
#include <sys/time.h>
#endif

But it is not clear to me whether these symbols are defined by any standard.
