+## Include directories from sub-projects
+
+When adding the libraries from the sub-projects, starting from cmake v3, there is
+no need to add the projects include directores in the include directories of the
+binary using them.
+
+This is controlled by the scope in the `target_include_directories()` command when creating
+the libraries. In this example because the subbinary executable links the sublibrary1
+and sublibrary2 libraries it will automatically include the `${sublibrary1_SOURCE_DIR}/inc`
+and `${sublibrary2_SOURCE_DIR}/inc` folders as they are exported with the
+ +PUBLIC+ and +INTERFACE+ scopes of the libraries.
