This is a bug in your makefile.

No.
In your Makefile you have:
#include Makefile.included
This is a makefile, not a C program. In make, the include statement
isn't prefixed with "#", it's just written "include".
In make, any part of a line starting with "#" to the end of the line is
a comment, and make ignores it completely.
So, the reason the prerequisites are "ignored" is that your
Makefile.included file is never actually included, since the include is
commented out. I removed the "#" from your example and it worked
correctly.
