The above comment (#9) doesn't seem to be addressed. Also, please
check other includes as well. I find below include also unnecessary.

--- a/src/backend/replication/pgoutput/pgoutput.c
+++ b/src/backend/replication/pgoutput/pgoutput.c
...
...
+#include "nodes/nodeFuncs.h"

Some other comments:
==================
1.
/*
+ * If we know everything is replicated and some columns are not part
+ * of replica identity, there is no point to check for other
+ * publications.
+ */
+ if (pubactions.pubinsert && pubactions.pubupdate &&
+ pubactions.pubdelete && pubactions.pubtruncate &&
+ (!validate_rowfilter || !rfcol_valid))
break;

Why do we need to continue for other publications after we find there
is an invalid column in row_filter?

2.
* For initial synchronization, row filtering can be ignored in 2 cases:
+ *
+ * 1) one of the subscribed publications has puballtables set to true
+ *
+ * 2) one of the subscribed publications is declared as ALL TABLES IN
+ * SCHEMA that includes this relation

Isn't there one more case (when one of the publications has a table
without any filter) where row filtering be ignored? I see that point
being mentioned later but it makes things unclear. I have tried to
make things clear in the attached.

Apart from the above, I have made a few other cosmetic changes atop
v65-0001*.patch. Kindly review and merge into the main patch if you
are okay with these changes.
