Ok I agree not everything should be in one header file,
but the problem with the code I tidied up was that there
was no consistency about what was in each file and what dependencies
there were between them.

I was trying to make everything as simple as 

#include "includes.h"

and know you've got everything you need for part of Samba.

As it was the rpc code had things like :

#include "includes.h"
#include "rpc_sec.h"
#include "rpc_misc.h"

It made no sense and there was nothing to say what was
where.

Once the rewrite is done you and I can get together and
sort the data structures into the places they should go
and use forward 'struct XXXX' declarations to resolve
dependencies.

That's my opinion anyway :-)
