Hi Paul,
Thanks for the clarification. I have still some questions though.

id It would know that the order of making up to date has to be:
id Makefile, sub.mk, subsub.mk, subsubsub.mk, etc., because if sub.mk

Not really. The times where it makes any difference are very few, and

each makefile was
