Cool, it really detects required headers.
$ gcc -MM  -I../../include tst_needs_cmds04.c
tst_needs_cmds04.o: tst_needs_cmds04.c ../../include/tst_test.h \
 ../../include/tst_common.h ../../include/tst_res_flags.h \
 ../../include/tst_parse.h ../../include/tst_test_macros.h \
 ../../include/tst_checkpoint.h ../../include/tst_checkpoint_fn.h \
 ../../include/tst_device.h ../../include/tst_mkfs.h \
 ../../include/tst_fs.h ../../include/tst_pid.h ../../include/tst_cmd.h \
 ../../include/tst_cpu.h ../../include/tst_process_state.h \

Kind regards,
