Can you help to explain the rule of cmake variable usage(not env var)?

which condition shall we use ${}.
and
which condition shall we use VARIABLE name directly.

I found that:
most time we use variable like this ${VARNAME}

but in IF command
we should use it like IF(VARNAME).

I do it in bash like this:

FIND_PATH(myPath hello.h ${CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH})

Try this instead:

export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/hello

then in CMake script:

FIND_PATH(myPath hello.h)

In other words, drop the ${CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH} from FIND_PATH and all should
be well.

How the CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH environment variable or equivalent CMake variable
is used is documented at http://cmake.org/HTML/Documentation.html. That's
where you find most explicit documentation (or the equivalent "cmake
--help-full" command. For a summary of useful CMake variables look at
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables.
