Presumably, then, you know the link line to achieve this. (In an
earlier post, you mentioned that you could edit the generated
Makefiles by hand.) You could simply pass the appropriate magic to
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES:

  TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES( A "-include-these-ones-too B C" )

The ADD_LIBRARY only contains the sources that you need to compile for
the library. Since B and C are third party, they are presumably
already compiled, and don't need to be compiled into A.
