The includes in your <projectname>.includes shouldn't be ignored and 
this seems to work fine here with Qt Creator 3.5.1 and Qt Creator from 
the master branch.

Note that the includes come from your project (*.includes) and the 
toolchain. Thus, "/usr/include" probably comes from the latter.

You probably need to configure the right toolchain for your Kit. You 
also can set an invalid toolchain (e.g. a custom toolchain created with 
no compiler path) so only the include directories from the project's 
*.includes will be used.
