1) In C++, are there any include files that are automatically included?
No.
or must I explicitly define one if i want to use a method from a particular
include file?
You must explicitly include it. Defining it would be something else
entirely.
2) Where can I find a source for all include files? something that shows the
code and what methods are available etc.. since there is no API like there
is in Java.
The C++ standard has definitions of what's required to be present in all
the standard headers. There are also a number of placed on the web
(e.g. at dinkumware.com) that have reference material.
Headers specific to your platform are presumably documented by the
implementation, though with no knowledge of the implementation it's hard
to guess at the form that might take.
