Hi,
Please use Rule #1 from Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst:
1) If you use a facility then #include the file that defines/declares that facility. Don't depend on other header files pulling in ones that you use.
so if Enumbers (error numbers) are used, then #include the header file for that.
etc.
thanks.
