I think
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.3/variable/CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_FILE.html
is exactly what you're asking for, and will work in most contexts you're
thinking of. (Configuring from a top level or sub-directory CMakeLists
file, in an included file, running a CMake -P script file...)
The only thing I'd say you should watch out for is using it inside a
function you define. I think it evaluates to the location where the
function is being called from, so in that case, it would NOT be the file
it's defined in (necessarily)... I could be wrong on this point, though, so
you should double check experimentally. Or by analyzing the CMake source.
HTH,
