The Include Hierarchy window lets you inspect all header and source files that are directly or indirectly included in a source file, or all source and header files that directly or indirectly include a header file.
You can open the Include Hierarchy window as pop-up window or as a window in the IDE. If you open the Include Hierarchy window in the IDE when the Type Hierarchy window is open, the Include Hierarchy window replaces the Type Hierarchy window.
To open the Include Hierarchy window:
For a source file, the default hierarchy display is a plain list of all directly and indirectly included files. For a header file, the default hierarchy display is a plain list of files that directly include the header file. For an included file, the default hierarchy is a plain list of the files that directly or indirectly include the file.
Buttons at the bottom of the Include Hierarchy window allow you to change the display:
