I just noticed that the above mentioned command line options --include-file and --includes-file are not mentioned in the PDF manual. I used cppcheck --help to find out about their existence.

I feel like they should be added to the manual. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your report. --include-file does not exist so I assume you meant --include=<file>. I filed https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/14538 about this.
