trying to emulate "include"

[Noel Yap]

I'm trying to emulate "include" with the following:

aoeu.mk:
        touch $@

-include aoeu.mk

ifeq ($(wildcard aoeu.mk),)
  $(error aoeu.mk: No such file or directory)
endif

----------------------------------------------------
but it's the error gets emitted all the time.  Is there a way to do what I want?

I'm starting to think I'm going to need the "re-exec count" feature in order to 
do this.

Thanks,
Noel
