[cosmic-users] idl_to_picml issue

[Jeff Parsons]

Hi,

That's right, for that context I don't think you really need
the file includes. I included them in the model only because
I wasn't sure the IDL generator model interpreter would be able
to easily pick up all the file dependencies by traversing the 
model. If we ever got to the point where we were sure that
feature is robust, I suppose the FileRefs could be removed
from the metamodel.
