Newbie rtfm question: headerfiles

[Larry Colen - Open Source Group]

I'm currently going through headerfile hell. Is there any sort of document
which describes what header files conflict with each other, and which ones
require others to be included first?

For example I'm fighting with compiler errors like:
In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:40,
                 from rsbac/clulog/clulog.c:27:
/usr/include/bits/types.h:95: warning: `__NFDBITS' redefined
/u/home/lrc/clunix/linux/include/linux/posix_types.h:22: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
/usr/include/bits/types.h:97: warning: `__FDMASK' redefined
/u/home/lrc/clunix/linux/include/linux/posix_types.h:34: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
In file included from rsbac/clulog/clulog.c:27:
/usr/include/stdio.h:473: warning: redefinition of `off_t'
/u/home/lrc/clunix/linux/include/linux/types.h:14: warning: `off_t' previously declared here

Am I doing something blatantly stupid?  Should I not be including stdio.h
from kernel space?
