Summary0015052: INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES does not allow non-existent directories, but INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES does
DescriptionIt is a duplicate of http://public.kitware.com/Bug/bug_relationship_graph.php?bug_id=14495 [^] , but I think that Stephen Kelly was not right there.

When using add_library(IMPORTED) with INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES CMake checks existence of the directory in the configuration-time. However, if we declare the same path in INCLUDE_DIRECTORY of the dependent target, everything work fine. This is not consistent.
Steps To Reproduce1. Unzip cmake-include-issue.zip
2. Try to build, build will fail
3. Replace "include(inc1.txt)' on line 25 of CMakeLists.txt with "include(inc2.txt)", effectively replacing

set_target_properties(sub PROPERTIES
  INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "${source_dir}/include"
)

with

target_include_directories(main PRIVATE "${source_dir}/include")

4. Now everything works as expected

 This bug is still active. This is very annoying to create third_party libraries using ExternalProject. When declaring the IMPORTED target, you can't specify the include associated to it, because it does not exist yet.

 By the way, there is a workaround - just call file(MAKE_DIRECTORY) for the include directory, then everything goes smooth.
