That depends on the context in which you use 'include'. Say you have  
some cmake files that just contain some common cmake code or some  
macros, then using the 'include' command is just fine.

    If you have a CMakeLists.txt file that starts off with project()  
then it may be better to use the "add_subdirectory'

Just saying for clarity.
