So have 1.mak look for 2.mak in the same directory, by doing something like:
# Get the directory part of the path by which 1.mak was included
# This should be before any other includes in 1.mak
dir_of_1 = $(dir $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST)))
...and then later:
# pull in 2.mak in the same directory as this file
include ${dir_of_1}2.mak
