</div></div>I definitely have fought this too way back when. I think we generally do the<br>
right thing now as it no longer "spills" out of Rcpp proper.<br>
<br>
You do have a bit of a mess here with headers:<br>
<br>
a) you may not need all of string, iostream, cmath; I think we include some<br>
(all?) of these. You may need just iostream<br>
<br>
b) you do not need R.h; you probably do not need the others<br>
<br>
c) just RcppArmadillo is good and often self-sufficient<br>
<br>
so I would quickly restart from the inside out with just RcppArmadillo.h and<br>
then add code paragraph by paragraph and judiciously only add the headers you<br>
need.<br>
