No, you cannot. If you use "-include", and the files are not there,
the depends/* files will never be built.
See: info make, Section: Include
"If an included makefile cannot be found in any of these
directories, a warning message is generated, but it is not an
immediately fatal error; processing of the makefile containing the
`include' continues. Once it has finished reading makefiles,
`make' will try to remake any that are out of date or don't exist.
*Note How Makefiles Are Remade: Remaking Makefiles. Only after it
has tried to find a way to remake a makefile and failed, will
`make' diagnose the missing makefile as a fatal error."
