Just for reference - you'll want to use $$PWD as a prefix for each file, and 
even though they're separated into different directories, the filenames will 
still need to be unique as they will all be built with output to the same 
release/debug/build directory.
So for example:

HEADERS += $$PWD/myObject.h

SOURCES += $$PWD/myObject.cpp

$0.02
