Does that break just the *link time* dependencies?

If you form a DAG of cross-library header inclusion and a DAG of the link
time dependencies, they should be compatible, and that's the layering we
should use.

I don't know much about LLD -- maybe it would help for you to describe the
DAG you're envisioning?
