If you want to make your makefile reflect the include heirarchy try
what I do.  Given some files like:
[NOTE: I use TurboC++ and the make and touch provided with it.
 Your milage may be different.]

File test.c
  #include "a.h"
  #include "b.h"

  main()
  {
    printf("testing");
  }

File a.h
  #include "c.h"

File a.h
  #include "d.h"
  #include <stdio.h>

File c.h
  #define test1 1

File d.h
  #define test2 2


I use a makefile like:

test.exe : test.obj
    tcc test.obj

test.obj : test.c a.h b.h
    tcc -c test.c

a.h : c.h
    touch a.h

b.h : d.h \tc\include\stdio.h
    touch b.h

This does have the side effect of perhaps changing the time stamps on
a,h and b.h when their contents haven't changed, but I don't mind that.
You might leave off the touch commands...I'm not sure how that would
work.
