-include is a make command, not a shell command, so it should not start
with a TAB character (everything that starts with a TAB is passed to the
shell, not interpreted by make).

Actually, you should get a "command not found" here from the shell,
since -include is not a legal shell command.  You must have added this
line AFTER you built a.o, and never cleaned up to run from scratch.


You should check out the document on my website for auto-creating
prerequisites.  Read it carefully and it will work as advertised.  If it
doesn't work, you're not reading it carefully enough :-).
