Again, <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PCYMTNQREAIYR>.
Secondly, this is still not Cygwin-related -- it's a general bash
situation. Please read the bash man page, especially the INVOCATION
section ('PAGER="less -isRrp ^INVOCATION" man bash'). Hint: note the
difference between .bashrc and .bash_profile.
FYI, the following works:
$ pwd
/tmp/maketest
$ cat blah.mak
include $(mydir)/maketest/bar.mk
$ cat bar.mk
all:; echo "Got target"
$ export mydir=/tmp
$ make -f blah.mak
echo "Got target"
Got target
$
