While building lighttpd 1.5.0, I kept getting complaints about /usr/ include/sys/aio.h After some investigation, I made sure

/usr/include/sys/types.h

was included before

/usr/include/sys/aio.h

and the problems went away.

Considering aio.h uses the types defined in types.h, shouldn't the latter be included in the former?

You could, as Conrad suggests, file a bug. This subject (whether to include the includes that an include file needs in the include file itself (:-})) is subject for much debate, and has been, over the years. It's one where reasonable men can agree to participate in long, pointless, flame-wars.

I know, old email... anyway, just checked SUSv3, which says: "Inclusion of the <aio.h> header may make visible symbols defined in the headers <fcntl.h>, <signal.h>, <sys/types.h>, and <time.h>." I guess that might be one vote to include <sys/types.h> from <aio.h>. Except Darwin has <sys/aio.h>, not <aio.h>.
