How can the order of inherited includes be controlled in vsprops Property Sheets?

I'm using some vsprops sheets that inherit from each other. My base property sheet defines some include paths. In a second vsprops file that inherits from it, I want to add some more include paths.

However, I want to be able to choose whether the additional include paths come before or after the base include paths. I'm sure I've seen something like an $(Inherits) variable that can be used to do this, but I can't remember what it was or find it again.

Any help would be appreciated.

Solution

  • Ok, found it now:

    $(Inherit) is what I want, as in this example:

    c:\test2;$(Inherit);c:\mystuff
