It depends on why you want an header file :

* If it's meant to help splitting a plugin among multiples .c modules, 
you should put the .h in the same directory as the plugin source (ie .c 
files), and there are no particular rule to its content (apart from 
coding styles).

* If it's meant to export functionnality added to the core, you should 
put the file in include/ (and add it to the top Makefile.am). You have 
to use the VLC_EXPORT macro if you want to exports functions to 
plugins.
