Just that you're not the first one who is bitten by this :) Both (as you 
already pointed out) gcc and also MSVC search header files in include 
paths given on the command line. The difference is rather that #include 
<..> does not search in the 'local' directories.

So you should
  - avoid using already existing file names for your header files
  - avoid excessive use of -I for a project with multiple folders.
