No, I don't have any special condition here. This is probably some past
conditioning resurfacing briefly. If I remember correctly, it had more to do
with compile efficiency rather than avoiding compile failures from multiple
inclusions.
Then don't bother.
gcc performs a handy optimization whereby it doesn't even open
the header file the second (and subsequent) time it's included, as
long as it's entire contents is wrapped in the usual sort of guard:
#ifndef SYM
#define SYM
...
#endif
