dev-manual: Updates to "Avoiding Duplicating Include Files" section.
I removed the last paragraph example as it is not a good example.
Unfortunately, there is not a good example so I replaced it with
a minor suggestive work-around at the end of the first paragraph.
Also, used some <replaceable></replaceable> formatting for the
first paragraph.
