Thank you for your reply. But this does not change anything. Sometimes I 
get:

---
rm src/test/exe{test}
rm src/test/obje{test}
rm src/libs/B/bmis{b}
rm src/libs/A/bmis{a}
c++ src/libs/B/mxx{b} -> src/libs/B/bmis{b}
c++ src/test/cxx{test} -> src/test/obje{test}
c++ src/libs/A/mxx{a} -> src/libs/A/bmis{a}
ld src/test/exe{test}
---

and sometimes

---
rm src/test/exe{test}
rm src/test/obje{test}
rm src/libs/B/bmis{b}
rm src/libs/A/bmis{a}
c++ src/test/cxx{test} -> src/test/obje{test}
c++ src/libs/B/mxx{b} -> src/libs/B/bmis{b}
c++ src/libs/A/mxx{a} -> src/libs/A/bmis{a}
ld src/test/exe{test}
---

or other permutations of the compilation.

This is exact the same result as for my original version in the github, 
where the inclusion takes place one directory above (and the paths where 
accordingly).

The import version I have to look at, my first try (which was mainly the 
same you suggested, was not successful.

Thank you very much,
