Can I include a header file into a new header file that I created? I put #include <MCP23S17.h>. I want to create a another header file.

2Just remember to put Include guards to avoid problems... And remember to accept the most useful answer to avoid being bumped to the homepage uselessly... – frarugi87 Sep 22 '17 at 12:49
Yes, a header can include another header. But if you are using the Arduino IDE and the headers aren't in the same folder, then you'll also need an #include line for it in the .ino file.

1Since Arduino IDE 1.6.6 it's no longer necessary to add includes to the sketch for library-library dependencies. – per1234 Dec 20 '17 at 4:40
Why not just include both in the final program?
Happens all the time.
DHT.h needs AdaFruit_Sensor.h, for instance, so you just include both.
First AdaFruit then DHT
