Sometimes you get lucky. If you call a function in library A, and you
have library B in your [LibraryClasses], and library B has library A in
its [LibraryClasses], then your code will be linked against both library
A and library B. So you won't get a linker error. But if library B
didn't already depend on library A, then your module wouldn't be linked
against library A, and you'd get an error.
It's best to list in your .inf file all the library classes which your
code calls directly. The rule of thumb is that if you include a
library's header file (#include <Library/SomeLib.h>), you should list
that library class in your [LibraryClasses]. The build system is smart
enough to handle dependencies, remove redundant items, etc.
