cpp knows about it.  From its info pages:

   The clean way to solve this problem [.h files in different
directories, but with the same filename] is to use `#include_next',
which means, "Include the *next* file with this name."  This directive
works like `#include' except in searching for the specified file: it
starts searching the list of header file directories *after* the
directory in which the current file was found.

Are you using some other cpp or invoking it directly with some odd
option?
