The order of generation of any targets that don't have dependencies is not
documented. This is deliberate because there is no defined ordering. The
targets may even be generated in parallel.

Hi,
I noticed that if you include some files in a makefile like
include a.d b.d c.d
and make knows how to make them, then it firsts generates c.d, then b.d
and so on.
To me, at least, this reverse order of the include-file-list to generate
these files feels counter intuitive.
At least it is not documented - if didn't overlook it of course.
Best regards
Georg Sauthoff
