And its FILE presumably, but why? This ties in to the question of whether
find_package(B) should find the dependencies of B:
case 1:
project(big_project)
find_package(A) // Uses AConfig.cmake, which includes ATargets.cmake
find_package(B) // Uses BConfig.cmake, which includes BTargets.cmake
case 2:
project(big_project)
find_package(B) // Uses BConfig.cmake, which includes BTargets.cmake
// and ATargets.cmake, but there was no find_package(A),
// so this is broken anyway.
case 3:
project(big_project)
find_package(B) // Uses BConfig.cmake, which runs find_package(A),
// includes BTargets.cmake and ATargets.cmake, despite the
// fact that, find_package(A) has the effect of including it
// anyway.
