I think Brian is right.
The heading files are just templates for adding comments to all of your 
generated files, normally license / copyright info.
Including such a heading file is completly optional (uncheck the "include 
heading file") and you can have different heading files for different 
proyects you are working on (for example one for adding a GPL licence to your 
umbrello work and one for adding some other copyright/license to other 
projects you do)

on the ohter hand, the processing directive Brian is talking about is not 
optional, it is part of the file and the file is not complete or syntactly(?) 
correct without it.

having the processing directive in a heading file would be like having the 
CppWriter generate only operation and attribute declarations and having a 
heading file containing the text " class <CLASSNAME> { "
you *could* get it to work (using variable substitution to replace <CLASSNAME> 
with the right value at generation time) but it would be wrong
