VS2012 C++ - Prevent Visual Studio from auto-adding includes

Somewhere in my code, I use std::numeric_limits, but I did not #include <limits> (I did #include <vector>, not sure if this matters). This worked fine for me; apparently Visual Studio fixes my mistake for me during compilation. Then, someone else who was working on the same code (with a different IDE) encountered compiler errors because of the missing include. Is there any way to prevent Visual Studio from doing this, to prevent this from happening again?

Thanks!

In order to support its own needs, <vector> includes <limits> (possibly indirectly through other nested includes), so it is available after <vector> is included. Open the <vector> header and take a look.

However in a different implementation, this may not be the case, so you cannot rely on it.
