You'd specify the actual headers which you tend to use. The test
compile would include all of them, in the order specified. As for
headers which might not exist on the system... well, you could do an
implicit check for that and discard headers which don't exist. As for
headers which might not be being used (e.g. if the program can compile
with or without X11R6), the configure.in script can cope with that
easily enough.

(Why would anyone ever want to include <sys/errno.h> in userland
code?)
