You can include it if is is a static lib, but it is generally not necessary. You do not really need to refer to the other lib except when creating the final executable.

Use must add the lib to the linker settings in that project. Dont ferget to add the path of the libs to the lib path.

And you need to include the headers in the project to have the prototypes of the used functions.

I personally like #pragma comment but dont know if Borland is supporting it.

You've added a dependency to your lib. That's not unusual. If you're using any of the standard C functions like printf() or fopen(), then you have a dependency on the standard library. What this means is that when you want to use the lib, you'll need to remember to link in the third party lib, and deploy the third party lib with the any executables. If you're providing the lib to customers, then you'll need to document the dependency. That documentation should probably include information on how to contact the provider of the third party lib to get a legal copy of it.
