+// This is a bit weird. Nothing directly in WebGLChild.h necessitates including
+// WebGLParent.h, but if we don't do this, we get compiler errors in the
+// generated code inside PWebGLChild.cpp. The error is due to a complex
+// dependency chain involving IpdlQueue, which I won't go into here. Including
+// WebGLParent.h inside WebGLChild.h is the simplest way we could think of to
+// avoid this issue. Including it in any of the code more directly involved in
+// the breaking dependency chain unfortunately introduces a cyclical dependency
+// between WebGLParent.h and PWebGLParent.h.
