If "other.hpp" presents in the same directory it will just work.

In this case baseB class will be excluded. The idea behind such
behaviour is next:
there is one directory that contains library interface and many
directories that contain
implementation details. So, by default pyplusplus excludes from generation all
declarations defined in other directories. You can find more information here:
http://language-binding.net/pyplusplus/tutorials/module_builder/module_builder.html

Next few lines of code will include baseB:

mb = module_builder_t( ... )
mb.class_( 'baseB' ).include()
#or if you want to include all declarations from directory Y:
mb.decls( header_dir=Y ).include()

I hope, this will help you.
