I don't quite get the problem: Declarations and definitions are found by 
parsing files. If you use stuff from fileX in fileY, you need a proper #include 
directive in fileY for fileX.

Depending on your project, this should work fine automagically, as we e.g. 
understand your CMake files and find the proper include paths from there.

If otoh you use some not-so-easy custom make files, this might file and you'll 
need to create a .kdev_include_paths file (or better yet, use the built-in UI 
to solve the "problem" for the not-found include path - just hover the 
problematic #include directive).
