Do I need <geom/geom.h> in <geom/gate/g_gate.h> ?

[Marcin Cieslak]

I am trying to write a GEOM gate module 
in C++ - for the project that is already
written 100% in C++ ....

Unfortunately, trying to #include <geom/gate/g_gate.h>
fails:

In file included from GEOMGate.cpp:1:
In file included from /usr/include/geom/gate/g_gate.h:37:
/usr/include/geom/geom.h:118:21: error: expected ';' after struct
        LIST_ENTRY(g_class)     class;
                           ^

I think C++ does not like using "class" in this context.

One idea would be to get rid of this word in <geom/geom.h>;
but I also noticed that including <geom/geom.h> in <geom/gate/g_gate.h>
does not seem necessary at all (as this is the userland interface).

At least our sample ggate userland programs compile fine without it,
and ggate kernel module includes <geom/geom.h> separately.

Would that be ok to remove seemingly unnecessary include directive?
