Here's how to add C++ code files that do not contain elements:
Make a header file that looks like:
#ifndef MYSPECIALHEADER_HH 
#define MYSPECIALHEADER_HH 

#include <click/whatyouneed.hh> 

CLICK_DECLS 

... // code 

CLICK_ENDDECLS 
ELEMENT_REQUIRES(MYSPECIALHEADER) 

#endif 

And create a matching .cc file:
#include <click/config.h> // do not forget this one
#include "myspecialheader.hh" 

CLICK_DECLS 

... //code 

CLICK_ENDDECLS 

ELEMENT_PROVIDES(MYSPECIALHEADER)
