Target dependencies are agnostic to the directories.  The ordering at
most matters for serial builds of independent targets.

While trying to reproduce this in a simple example I found the problem:

```
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES (symdiff_tcl $<TARGET_OBJECTS:symdiff_objects> 
${TCL_ARCHIVE})
```

That is not the way to reference an object library.

The documentation:

  
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.12/manual/cmake-buildsystem.7.html#object-libraries

shows that `$<TARGET_OBJECTS:...>` belongs in the list of *sources*,
not linked libraries.  You should be using:

```
add_library(symdiff_tcl SHARED ... $<TARGET_OBJECTS:symdiff_objects>)
```
