Specialized File Inclusion (#include_next)

The preprocessor directive #include_next instructs the preprocessor to continue searching for the specified file name, and to include the subsequent instance encountered after the current directory. The syntax of the directive is similar to that of #include.

The language feature is an orthogonal extension to C and C++. It extends the techniques available to address the issue of duplicate file names among applications and shared libraries.
