Do you mean that inside "CPackConfig.cmake" the value you(ve set before
"INCLUDE(CPack)" are not used?

Not something obvious I think.
Could it be possible that INCLUDE(CPack) has been called by a subproject
before you actually do it in your main CMakeLists.txt?

Which CPack generator are you using?
Not all of them use CPACK_RESOURCE_* vars.

Could you try from a "fresh" build tree in order to avoid potential
cache effect.
