[vtk-developers] Changes to vtkPlane broke build

[Wes Turner]

In order to avoid circular dependencies, VTK maintains a hierarchical
structure for the modules.  It is legal to use other libraries, but only in
a defined way.  So, for example, code in Filtering can reference Common, but
Common can't reference Filtering.
