I've been programing in C since 1984. This is the way I do it:
aa.h:
/* Here are all my defines and typedef's. (I do not
allocate any space for variables here.)*/
#define .....
typedef struct {.....} TYPE_aa; /* Or whatever... */
aa.c:
/* Here we allocate space for 'aa'. 'aa' is defined here
because is part of the aa data structure.*/
#include <aa.h>
TYPE_aa aa;
bb.c
/* Here we need to reference 'aa'. (It should not be
needed if our program is well structured.)*/
#include <aa.h>
extern TYPE_aa aa;

That's a nice statement. I agree with it. Keep your data structures
ordered and everything will come easy.
