Prototypes and /COPYing

I have just started to use external calls and have a question,
how much overhead does a prototype bring to a program?  What
I am contemplating is building header files similar to C files.  One
I would call MATH_H.  That would include atof, atoi, atol and those
types.  Then, whenever I needed to use one of these I would just
/COPY the MATH_H into my program and be done with it.  This
is basically what C does.

Does anyone have any reason this would NOT be a good idea?

Regards,

Jim Langston
