Yes. We added a test to RcppArmadillo.h to ensure Rcpp.h was not yet loaded. Worst case you may need to work around that. RcppEigen.h does not have that as I recall, but may still run into trouble if included after RcppArmadillo. One idea: mypackage.h includes only Rcpp.h mypackageArma.h includes RcppArmadillo.h mypackageEigen.h includes RcppEigen.h and you then dispatch by hand. At the end of the day, "everything" conforms to SEXP someName(SEXP a, SEXP b, SEXP c, ...) so you should be able to find common ground at these C-language signatures. | The reason I am interested is to compare speed. I use a fast BLAS (OpenBLAS | 2.10 compiled for Win764).

I am a little sceptical whether the difference will hold up for the next user, the next cpu, the next compiler version, ... but if you feel it is worth your time then by all means go ahead -- and report back how you did it.
