You are right - but the situation is going better and better - at least with
semantic (part of the cedet suite). With semantic you can at least define
where to search for include-files (header-files) and then junp to them via
click in ECB. But you are right - in a cpp-file you do not have a complete
overlook of the contents of a class - surely a point we should think about it
- good suggestion - i will discuss this with Eric Ludlum (author of semantic).
