The fact that headers are in a different directory should not matter at
all to dependency generation.  The INCLUDES line is only to ensure that
all files you need will be distributed with `make dist'.  

Let's see some details about your setup: post some of Makefile.am.
What does configure output look like in the lines that start with

  checking dependency style of ...

and which compiler do you use on what system?

Please don't top-post.  Thanks!

Cheers,
