Please note that in plain C it is possible to forward declare it. 2) Forward declaration is good because it allows encapsulation. It hides the specific implementation and does not necessarily exposes SDL staff to my appication's namespace 3) It can't harm plain C because tags are living in a different namespace than typenames 4) It is already done like this in other places in SDL. Check for example SDL_KeySym, and SDL_.*Event structures. 5) Right now I have to include SDL/event.h from a C++ header file. See 2)
