this is true, there is no problem in this IDL file, but it's possible
that there is some other IDL file that is missing an #include.

the LO build uses the new "unoidl-write" tool to parse the IDL files and
that does not use a preprocessor and ignores #includes, but the SDK only
has the old "idlc" tool that uses #include to find stuff, so it's
currently possible that we ship IDL files that "idlc" chokes on.

andy, what is the actual error message that you get?
