It is annoying.

One can break up the interface file in several interface files. The problem
with this is that types defined in one interface file are often used in other
interface files and here the attributes of these types are not known.
The 'import' statement in SWIG is suppose to solve this, but last
I tried I had problems.

Someone should have a look at this ( I might do it, but not this week..).
