you get this warning if a module from CMake/Modules/ includes a module from outside CMake/Modules/, if the same module exists also inside CMake/Modules/. This is a serious warning, because the including module expects the module from the same cmake version as itself, having the features as they are in this version, and by getting a different file it may not get what it expects.
