# purpose of this example is to 
# demonstrate the "include" functionality of `make`
# via the syntax "include <filename>" content of another file (also 
# Makefile syntax, i.e recipies-rules and Variables) can be include

include Makefile.includes


# the included file can also be the "outcome" from another rule
# in the file that is doing the 'include'ing itself
# in this case the `make` will restart the invokation "once more" anew
Makefile.includes: 
	# this does generate a simple recipe to "touch create a `file`"
	printf 'file:\n\ttouch file\n' > Makefile.includes
