nested relative path in include not handled as in other makes

[Kanda Kumaravel]

Problem :
       when the make file has a relative path like "../head1.mk" and if the 
file head1.mk has another include which is relative to its own position like 
"../head2.mk" then running the make on top make file reports an error like 
"../head2.mk" not found.

example :
     In the included gziped file, switch to test/level1/level2/ directory 
and if you do a "gmake all", It reports an error that level0.mk is not 
found.

     The similar situation is handled by gcc properly. This can be tested 
by doing a 'gcc a.c' at the above mentioned directory. relative paths have 
been used in the include in the c file also.

kind regards,
Kumaravel.

PS : I refered to the gmake manual at 
http://www.gnu.org/manual/make/html_node/make_toc.html
and I did not find any reference to such a situation. Incase Such a 
condition was alredy handled in a different way, please update it in the 
manual.
