Custom Sub-Includes??? (Like <gtk/window.h>)

[SteadyEdd]

Ive noticed in tutorials and such, people only including bits of a library. Like #include <gtk/window.h> instead of just #include <gtk>. Is this special to the <> type of include or are they just in a directory? and if so can I make whole directories include the same way?

great question. Cant wait for some one else to answer it.

#include <something.h>
makes the preprocessor looking for 'something.h' only in its include directories.
#include "something.h"
makes it also look in the current directory
#include <path/something.h>
means that 'path' is a subdirectory of the include directories.

#include
can include only files, not directories.

Is there any way to include directories?

Ahh right ok. Would this work, it seems to be set out that way in some of my usr/include directories.

Folders:

Root/
  MyInc/
   something.h
   foo.h
   bar.h
  MyInc.h // Includes all in the folder
  main.cpp

// To Include All
#include "MyInc.h"

// To Include One (MyInc.h Lines)
#include "MyInc/foo.h"
