We have headerscheck and cpluspluscheck to catch that problem, so I don't
think that it needs to be a reason not to rationalize header inclusion
order.
I don't have a very strong opinion on whether modules outside the core
backend should separate their own headers from core-system headers.
I think there's some argument for that, but it's not something we've
done consistently. And, as you say, there's no convention as to
where we'd include local headers if we do separate them.
