Currently, AFAIK, it's not possible to set source-file-specific include directories unless one (mis)uses COMPILE_FLAGS which is accompanied by the shortcoming you've mentioned. Probably, the really clean solution ATM would be a reorganisation of the sources, but I doubt if the need for different include directories is an appropriate criterion for a project's directory layout. If there're only a few affected files, another possible workaround consists of file-specific configured headers, i.e. find the special include directories and inject them into config'd headers that are included by the concerned source files, or even modify the latters themselves in this manner. Of course, the sources must be touched to do that. IMO, from a conceptual point of view, INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES should be also available as target and source file property, so I would vote for 1968 and 8189 - seem to be relatives - and possibly 8874, too. However, if this undertaking is addressed, one should think about how the include directories are ordered on the compiler's command line. Perhaps, there might be a convention that they appear from most to least specific, i.e. in source-target-directory order.
