BitSquid back in 2011 released a nifty tool for analysing C++ header includes, see

A tool for analyzing C/C++ codebase header dependencies. Header Hero recursively scans source code directories and maps out

where changing them would cause the most recompiles. Hopefully it can help you reduce the header inclusion issues.
