All layout XML files are one - that is, they are merged as part of typical rendering.

You need to edit the page/html/header.phtml file and add this bit of code:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('wishlist') ?>

Before you do any of this though you should read through the articles at the Official Magento Knowledge Base, paying particular attention to the theme hierarchy and developer articles. The time to get theme customizations right is at the beginning of a project.
