Dependency management in C++ is a complex beast and I haven't found any good tools (and very few not-so-good tools) to do the job. Externals handle the basics code dependencies for us, and we use Visual Studio to handle some of the project / module dependencies but VS doesn't scale well to very-large-scale cross-team projects unfortunately (and it isn't cross platform either which sucks).
I just mention all this because even if use case #1 should be avoided, I think it is a very real and important use case that isn't all that uncommon. I wouldn't discount it out-of-hand.
