Thanks, Stefan.  That helps a lot.  We are still using swig-1.3.x, but
the same useful code insertion documentation appears at
http://www.swig.org/Doc2.0/SWIG.html#SWIG_nn40

To be specific it appears

%{
#include "our_header.h"
%}

will put that #include in the header block (since %{...%} is shorthand
for %header %{...%}).  That was too late a position in the code, but
apparently earlier possibilities for code insertion are available as
well with, e.g.,

%begin %{
#include "our_header.h"
%}

Note I haven't yet had a chance to try this, but from the documentation
it should be perfect for our needs.
