[CMake] Undefined symbols when header file with code is included

Hello,
Since I often use a number of C++ helper functions for my daily
programming tasks, I've written a header file (my_util.h) which is then
included into a source file (i.e. model.cpp). All helper function code
is contained within the header file, and there is not a corresponding
my_util.cpp file which includes my_util.h. Normally I've found that
this works fine when compiling a program with the Eclipse IDE, but I've
run into a snag when trying to do the same thing with CMake.
In my CMakeLists.txt file, I am using the line:
include_directories(/Volumes/FILES/CODE-LIBRARY/utilities)
I believe that this should be sufficient to let CMake know that my
header file is in this particular directory, but when I run the
generated makefile, I receive the following error:
Undefined symbols:
"void util::load_matrix<double>(std::basic_string<char,
std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, TNT::Array2D<double>*)",
referenced from:
run_test() in model.cpp.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [model] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/model.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

What am I doing wrong, and what do I have to modify to let CMake link my
header file with the output executable? I am building my project on
UNIX (Mac OS X and Linux) systems using CMake 2.8.2.
