Are you converting to a non-recursive build?  I made the transition
in one of my projects and there were a few things to keep in mind.  
 1. All variables are global and can get overwritten in includes.
 2. It's best to do everything before including the next makefile.
 3. Target-specific variables are the best thing since sliced bread.

I'd be willing to look at your patch and try to resolve the confusion
you're having.
