Ohhhh, right hand side of include is generated if missing
(file:/usr/share/doc/make-doc/make_3.html#SEC16). And it
looks like variable expansion is done later.

allee(0) ~ $ cat mm
-include mm.inc

mm.inc: /bin/echo
        /bin/echo bla="hello " > mm.inc

all:
        echo $(bla)world

allee(0) ~ $ rm mm.inc ; make -f mm all
/bin/echo bla="hello " > mm.inc
echo hello world
hello world
allee(0) ~ $ 


So everything should be fine.
