Automake won't understand this (looks like a bug to me). That's
why you later had to add
nodist_CubeView_SOURCES = CubeViewUI.cxx CubeViewUI.h
If you rewrite your implicit rules as
.fl.cxx:
fluid -c $<
.fl.h:
fluid -c $<
Automake should be able to figure that CubeViewUI.fl can be
transformed into CubeViewUI.cxx which in turn needs to be
compiled, without the help of a nodist_CubeView_SOURCES
variable. (You don't even need to define SUFFIXES if you do
that.)

The simplest answer is
BUILT_SOURCES = CubeViewUI.h
this will cause CubeViewUI.h to be built before anything else.
