I tried to put these three lines to a Makefile (replacing xform with cat),
then I created fileA and fileB, and then tried
        make fileA.pp
        make fileB.pp

Both command succeeded, so I can say I wasn't able to reproduce your bug.

Can you reduce the problem to something small and reproducible?

Have a nice day,
