Ok, from what I see in my VC Pro ver6.x menus this appears to be under
Project->Settings->C/C++ tab and then go down to Project Options.
and make sure I have the /D_UNICODE and /DUNICODE in the
Options box, correct ?
One more question, are defines (and/or no defines) the sole reason for
the incremental inclusion order of include files or are there more ramifications?

Not in VS 6.
See, VS 2005/2008 are better than VS 6 ;-)
