Indeed. This is the maintenance issue.

I agree that mulriple headers are very inconvinent when you distribute library 
for
other apps development. But it is very convinient in the library development.
And really would like to leave it as it is for the moment. The goal is, that
you just include gsm-api.h in the app and the other are automatically included.
