"Your observations are exactly right. For most purposes, C turn-turn
can be disregarded. Why? Look up the coil : you see a whole lot of
capacitances between each wire and its neighbours and these are
shielded from other close turns up the same side of the coil. Each is
connected series.

	Not only that, but these capacitances (turn to next turn) 
are also shunted by the inductance of a single turn.  Can't
have any effect at all at the frequencies most of us are working
with.
