No, naturally not. The build system handles transitivity and making
transitive includes available in each parallel build shard.

I'm just trying to figure out how much of this is fundamental to all build
systems (I don't think it is) vs. "I just want globbing to be enough" (I
also don't think it's that). There's some subtlety in here that I think is
getting lost and conflated with "stuff works this way now". Of course if we
change things, things will be different.
