Comment (by dd32):

 It sounds like in this case, the plugin is `_doing_it_wrong()`. No plugin
 should need to require a core file manually, either it's for use within
 the admin and should include the plugins file on `admin_init`, or it's for
 use on the front end, and should either a) file a ticket to move it to
 `wp-includes` and always load, or b) copy the core functionality needed to
 their own file.

 In this case, `Walker_Category_Checklist` is a very minimal class, I'd
 suggest the proper way would be to just copy the minimal required
 functionality into your own Walker class.
