Lots of other Makefiles used ../../Makefile.inc. The first one that I
checked was named. named/tools/*/Makefile uses triple ascension from
${.CURDIR} in two places and triple ascension from "." in one place.
I'm not sure if this is bogus (apart from the ${.CURDIR}. If the
intermediate Makefile.inc doesn't do anything special it seems better to
include the top level Makefile.inc explicitly. Perhaps the path to the
controlling Makefile.inc should be passed on to sub-makes. bsd.prog.mk
etc. could include this instead of ../Makefile.inc. An intermediate
Makefile.inc could change the path to make itself the controlling one.
