The problem you had was with a gui file (NSGraphicsContext.m)  including
a base header (NSThread.h). I think in this case of two different
libraries, although belonging to the same project, we would expect that
the installed files get used in preference over any other version.
Within the base library Richard tried to address the import issue by
changing all import in implementation files to use "" when importing
headers from the same library and started to use some #ifdef mechanism
in the headers to achieve the same there:

#if     defined(GNUSTEP_BASE_INTERNAL)

At the moment this isn't used in all base headers (and gui still lags
behind, there we only have cleaned up most of the implementation files).
What I don't see is how this mechanism could have helped in your case.
