To (properly?) support XML archives, you need at least 
boost/serialization/nvp.hpp, and if you want to change the tracking level or 
the implementation level for the type, you generally include the 
corresponding headers as well, although this could be done with forward 
declarations.

In addition, if you serialize a base class, you need 
boost/serialization/base_object.hpp.

Not sure if that's all, perhaps there's more.
