You can write an header that individually includes the other headers and then include this header elsewhere. But an include directive can only include one single header.

There's no such facility in C. Create a master header file that includes everything that's in that directory, and have your clients include that.

A side-note: it's always better to know what exactly you are #include-ing, i.e. hand-pick needed header files, instead of doing this thing wholesale to avoid name clashes, unexpected macro expansion, circular dependencies, and what not.

This is not directly possible in C. You must include headers individually or make some sort of preprocessing step in your makefile which synthesizes a header which #includes the others.
