In some projects I have worked with the rule was to include the most
specific headers first - so we would caugth early if a header file missed
something.

But as long as having all header files self-contained are not a hard
rule we should not try to do something like this.

I once went through all the drm header files to make them minimal and
self-contained.
But this triggered a massive update of all drm drivers / core files
so I skipped that again. The pain/gain ratio was far to high.
Just making them all self-contained is is smaller task that does
not break the build - but until now I have not seen any good reasons /
demands for this so I have left it.
