The including file parsing sequences could be complicated, I think. 

For historic reason, there are a lot of use of the assert macro with 2+ parameters.  Basically, assert is a name defined and used in ANSI C.  The name should not be re-defined for other forms and purpose.  As suggested in the definition of the 2+ parameters assert, vmassert() should be used instead.
