VC++ project files have nothing to do with includes, as they don't 
contain any. They may only contain defines, but they are imported by dev 
anyway (I assume, that you used the import function of dev, no?).

I think, that the stdio.h file is the same in Dev-C++ (well, actually in 
MinGW) and both in VC++. So I really don't know what and why have they done.

To define something globally, through the environment, you need to pass 
a flag to the compiler. It has the form: -DSOMETHING
This will define SOMETHING for the currently compiled file. Add 
-DWHAT_YOU_WANT to the compiler flags in the Project options -> 
Parameters -> Compiler or C++ compiler.

I hope this helps. Good luck!
