Xcode: target membership of frameworks?

I have a question about the far right column of your Xcode project (image here)

Apple's documentation tells me this about that column:

Target membership. The column marked by the target icon indicates whether the file is included in the active target. If the checkbox next to a file is checked, then the active target includes that file.

So what if I have #import <Security/Security.h> in my .m file, do I still need to link it with the target membership? What if a .m file has that and it's not linked but the code works? Should I remove the line? Should I remove the framework?

Thanks.

If you don't add it to the target, the compiler won't find the Security framework from the other files compiled under the same target. Targets are in a way separate projects that share some common settings.
