Sorry, but unless you give us a minimal self-contained test case, to 
demonstrate your problem, we cannot help you.  Based on what you've 
given us so far, here is mine, which works perfectly, exactly as I 
would expect:--

  $ mkdir -p foo/include/foobar/foo

  $ cd foo

  $ echo '#define FOO_SUCCESS  0' > include/foobar/foo/foo.h

  $ echo '#include "foo/foo.h"
      int main() { return FOO_SUCCESS; }' > foo.c

  $ echo 'foo.exe: foo.c ${LOCAL_INCLUDES}/foo/foo.h
  <TAB>   gcc -I${LOCAL_INCLUDES} -o $@ foo.c' > Makefile

  $ export LOCAL_INCLUDES=`pwd`/include/foobar

  $ make foo.exe
  gcc -I/home/keith/foo/include/foobar -o foo.exe foo.c

and FTR,

  $ gcc -I$LOCAL_INCLUDES -o foo.exe foo.c

works silently, and just as well as `make foo.exe'.

Regards,
Keith.
