Good question. If you can't get poison-cured then healed in the same
turn, so I guess no healed then poison-cured.
It would be simpler to let all healers treat poison at all times, but it
means standing next to an allied curer plus your own is more powerful
than standing next to two of your own.
Mind you, at the moment if you have two allies, they can stand around
your curer and get 18 HP cured *each* per turn, so maybe perfection is
too much to ask.

True: we need unit->poison_cured and unit->poison_stopped flags, too. I
think if your healer stops poison, an allied curer can still cure it,
because otherwise your healer has done you a disservice! But you cannot
have two different treatments in the same turn (with the exception of
poison-stop then poison-cure, in which case it's as if the former never
happened).
Something like this:
// First of all, we treat poisoning.
if (unit->poisoned()) {
// If already treated, then poisoned, too bad.
if (unit->healed == 0 && !unit->poison_cured) {
if (healer->type().heals() >= game_config::cure_amount) {
unit->poison_cured = true;
unit->remove_flag("poisoned");
} else {
unit->poison_stopped = true;
}
}
}
// Can we treat unit? Only if not poisoned or poison-treated, and
// not healed beyond our ability already this turn.
if (!unit->poisoned() &&
unit->hitpoints() < unit->max_hitpoints() &&
unit->healed < healer->type().heals() &&
!unit->poison_cured && !unit->poison_stopped) {
...;
}
Cheers,
Rusty.
