http://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMPass.html says,

-----
Basic code required
Now that we have a way to compile our new pass, we just have to write  
it. Start out with:

#include "llvm/Pass.h"
#include "llvm/Function.h"
Which are needed because we are writing a Pass, and we are operating  
on Function's.

Next we have:

using namespace llvm;
... which is required because the functions from the include files  
live in the llvm namespace.
