> Thanks. I think it's common that two targets contain modules with the same name. e.g. targetA.Init and targetB.Init. each target has a Init module to initialize themself. It'll be convenient if ocamlbuild isolates inc-dir for each target.

Note that if you are writing libraries you should prefix these names anyway as they would exist in the global toplevel namespace and hence potentially clash with other libraries.  

That said I'm also often hit by the limitations you mention when I have libraries that provide multiple implementations of the same interface. The work around is to avoid `include`ing the directories in your _tags file and invoke ocamlbuild with the `-I` option, see for example [1].  

Best,

Daniel
