Actually,

One could consider include files to be on the way out.

Modern programming environments tend to have some sort of binary 'type
library' informration available to programs rather than a text-based include
facility. This applies to VB, JAVA, Delphi, BC Builder, and C#, for example,
and even VC++ supports the #import to bring in a type library.
