This is not a libtool problem.  You need to add some include paths to
your preprocessor flags.  If you use Automake, something like
  AM_CPPFLAGS = -I../include
or
  AM_CPPFLAGS = -I$(srcdir)/../include

in the Makefile.am where bar_func.c is compiled, and the path adjusted 
to however your source tree is laid out.

The Automake and Autoconf documentation, and this tutorial
http://www-src.lip6.fr/homepages/Alexandre.Duret-Lutz/autotools.html
know this and lots more useful info.

Cheers,
Ralf
