It's just that this syntax is just so, well ... ugly. :-)

Seems that I can include such a "header file" just with a @, like
@NukMed.h in the beginning and then it is there.

The file doesnt need a special beginning and end, just the IDL syntax has to
be correct of course.
It is also possible to include *.pro like this.
