If you go down that route, you end up with _lots_ of circular
dependencies - header file X needs Y needs Z which needs X.  We've
been there, several times.  It very quickly becomes quite
unmaintainable - you end up with hard to predict behaviour from
include files.

The only realistic solution is to use forward declarations.

In header files, yes. But that's not true for implementation files.
