Right, I just use it directly from the CVS tree.

I didn't realize this at all. Maybe I can just forward declare them at
the top of stexprt.cpp file.

I agree, I'm guessing that they will probably say that those files and
libraries are internal and there's no need to use them. What I did in
the export file was directly copy the code in scite (licence is ok to
do this) and try to modify as little as possible to make it easy for
me to get any updates from them.

I will see if I can remove the #includes and just delcare the classes
themselves. I asked on wx-users about a wxString type class for ansi C
(even if wxWidgets is unicode) since the SString classes used by
scintilla is not trivial and I'd hate to start to get version problems
for different scintilla versions (eg. wxWidgets versions).
