You need to guarantee that *all* #includes of header files lexically appear before all imports that directly or indirectly depend on those same header files. In *all* translation units.

I don't see what's so difficult about this requirement.  Just put your 
#includes above your imports, and don't use imports in header files. 
Header-based code will automatically follow these rules by virtue of not 
using imports.  Module-based code will naturally follow these rules by 
virtue of not using header files, and by putting the #includes above the 
imports.  Or am I missing something here?
