g'day.

i dont know if this is a bug - or specifical feature with some (unknown-to-me) 
background idea.

the makefile:
#-------
%.mak:
        @echo "making $@"
        touch $@

include a.mak, b.mak
include c.mak
now: ;
#-------

runs as :
here$ make

makefile:6: a.mak: No such file or directory
makefile:6: b.mak: No such file or directory
makefile:7: c.mak: No such file or directory
c.mak
b.mak
a.mak
make: `now' is up to date.

==========
the "nosuchfile" warning messages are given in correct order, 
but remaking happens in the reversed. 
which is quite contrary to anything else in the gnumake philosophy, 
AFAIunderstand it.
if there's a reason behind it - or some documentation except the .info - let 
me know.

ciao
