here is a segment of my cmake file

# add executable (repl)
add_executable(repl "src/repl.cpp")
# target_link_libraries(repl modeldb)

# add library
file(GLOB_RECURSE MODELDB_SRC "src/*.cpp" "src/*.hpp")
file(GLOB_RECURSE MODELDB_INCLUDE "include/modeldb/*.hpp")
add_library(modeldb SHARED ${MODELDB_SRC} ${MODELDB_INCLUDE}) 

# set include directories
target_include_directories(modeldb PRIVATE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/include/modeldb)
target_include_directories(modeldb PRIVATE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/src)
target_include_directories(modeldb PUBLIC 
    $<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/include>
    $<INSTALL_INTERFACE:include>
)```

i did target include PRIVATE and PUBLIC bc in the source code of the library, i do:

#include "storage/cursor.hpp"```
but i want other people to do
```cpp
#include <modeldb/storage/cursor.hpp>

when they are using my library

im the repl file, i'm doing:

#include <modeldb/compiler/metacmd/metacmd.hpp>```
this include works, but i get an error

#include "compiler/metacmd/metacmdresult.hpp"
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/repl.dir/src/repl.cpp.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/repl.dir/all] Error 2```

so i think it's doing this include correctly, but when it pastes "metacmd.hpp" into repl.cpp, and metacmd.hpp has

#include "compiler/metacmd/metacmdresult.hpp"```
and it doesn't recognize that

tldr, in file a I do:

#include "b"

but in the executable i do

#include <modeldb/a>

but it errors bc
modeldb/a does

#include "b"

and it doesn't recognize "b"
