the example http_client.cpp shows to include the headers in following order: ``` "../src/netlib.hpp" "../src/http/client.hpp" "../src/http/http.hpp" ``` However, a common setting in auto-formatters like clang-format will sort the headers in alphabetical order (which is also a requirement in some code-styles), like this: ``` "../src/http/client.hpp" "../src/http/http.hpp" "../src/netlib.hpp" ``` But this will lead to compilation errors as `netlib.hpp` includes headers that are needed by `client.hpp`, for example `<future>` but also library-defined symbols like `DEFAULT_TIMEOUT` or `TICK_TIME`, which are then included or defined after `client.hpp` needs them. The ordering of includes of all needed library-headers should not matter, but a single header file to include everything would be preferable anyway. To exclude features like HTTP by default anyway, a compile switch is added.
