I think the proper solution is to fix the IDL compiler output to
always use the same guard defines, no matter what suffix you are
using. As a fix in the mean-time, you can put the following at the
start of your IDL files:

#pragma hh #include <omniORB3/Naming.hh>
#pragma hh #define __CosNaming__Omni_h_EXTERNAL_GUARD__
#pragma hh #include <COS/CosLifeCycle.hh>
#pragma hh #define __CosLifeCycle__Omni_h_EXTERNAL_GUARD__

Those definitions will be copied into the output _Omni.h file, and
will prevent the generated code trying to #include the wrong things.

Cheers,

Duncan.
