I just want to point out that the preprocessor understands the

#ifndef FOO
#define FOO
...
#endif

idiom, where nothing but comments precedes the #ifndef in the file, and
likewise nothing succeeds the matching #endif.  If FOO is still defined at the
next #include of the file, the preprocessor will skip the #include entirely.

So don't let this be a consideration in the argument.
