SYMPTOMS
Dependendcies to files that are included using a relative reference such as,
#include "\include\test.h"
will not be generated when a Scan All Dependencies is performed on a project.
RESOLUTION
Adding the project root directory to one of the Include file paths (under Options.Directories or Options.Project.Compiler.Preprocessor) AND changing the #include statement to remove the leading backslash (such as in "include\test.h") will resolve this problem. Additionally, specifying the entire path to the include file will alleviate this problem.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the products listed above. This problem was corrected in Visual C++ 2.0.
MORE INFORMATION
The following sample code will not include test1.h as a project dependency.
Sample Code
/* Compile options needed: none
*/
#include "\include\test1.h"
#include "test.h"
void main() {}
