Eggplant no, tomatillos yes.

I've grown a lot of different varieties of eggplant and never had any that I thought needed staking. All the tomatillos I've tried made large floppy plants that would sprawl all over if not staked; staked ones are *much* easier to harvest (and the fruit less likely to rot).
