Make sense. Then, it is because of the complexity we want to use the makefile. The include files is a mess for c/c++ because it poses no restrictions and people do abuse it. In my practice, I never put header files in the makefile. They are either stable or I need deliberately ponder on its design. When necessary, I simply touch the c source to trigger rebuild. So my makefile remain simple and I always need know roughly how my header files are used, which is a necessary responsibility.
