Any classes in unreal that can allow classes to easily talk to one another without needing include?

Development Programming & Scripting C++
1

I went through some of the unreal C++ tutorials and when I did I started to think about more practical design of a video game.

One of the things I prefer is a msg class, so I can send generic enough messages around the engine without knowing much about it.
All the examples seem to constantly want to bring in a include file to a script for anything that was built with any type of reference to it.
So I end up building classes that become very tangles webbed together, creating a debug night mirror in the future.

In a video games, I prefer to not need to know a lot about other classes.
Try to keep code separated so that if I need to change something in one class I dont need to edit 10 other classes.

Here is a perfect example of what I am asking… I came from unity so forgive my ignorance if I am just missing something.

Use the Messaging Module. Using a messaging infrastructure is a great way to decouple services and classes from each other. Here is a slew of references for you to learn how to use this module:
