Shared IDL Imports

Hi all,
I've got a patch pending in my tree that adds another IDL file in
include/wine/ but it has a dependency on another new IDL file in the
same directory. The trouble is that the patch in the import statement
gets lost in the generated IDL file. The attached diff shows an example
of this, which gives the following error:
~/Documents/wine/dlls/ole32 rob$ make
../../tools/widl/widl -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include
-D__WINESRC__ -D_OLE32_ -DCOM_NO_WINDOWS_H -h -H irot.h irot.idl
gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -D__WINESRC__ -D_OLE32_
-DCOM_NO_WINDOWS_H -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -Wall -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing
-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wwrite-strings -Wpointer-arith -g -O2
-o moniker.o moniker.c
In file included from moniker.c:48:
irot.h:11:18: error: test.h: No such file or directory
I see an number of options for fixing this, but they all have problems:
Solution 1: Fix the generation of include statements in header files
generated from the IDL to include the path. This has the issue that it
is not compatible with MIDL, so testing our IDL files with it becomes
difficult (MIDL appears to only search in the current directory when it
encounters an import statement with a path).
Solution 2: Include the dependent IDL file instead of importing it. This
has the issue that the include needs to be guarded so that the
definitions don't get declared if the dependent IDL file's header is
imported before or after the first IDL file's header. This also has the
trouble that it isn't compatible with MIDL as the guards are different
between MIDL and widl.
Solution 3: Put the IDL files in another directory (e.g. include/idl)
and add that to the -I statement in CFLAGS and not using a path in the
import statment in the first IDL file. This has the issue of having to
change the name of the IDL file in the DLL or program directory to avoid
an infinite recursion of includes.
Which of these is the best solution or is there another solution?
Thanks,
