My personal preference: We should omit it.

My personal preference: We should omit it.

My personal preference: The latter. One of the main reasons we include "Foo.h" 
first in "Foo.cpp" is to test that the header has the proper includes to be 
used standalone. It may be useful to do that test even if the header is 
supposed to be wrapped entirely in ENABLE(FOO).

But this is a close call. I’d be happy either way.
