[CMake] Scope of a macro

[Michael Jackson]

I will assume you are doing something like this:

include(/path/to/file/with/macros.cmake)
mymacro(args)

The easiest way to think of "include" is the same as a C/C++ #include.  
CMake will take the contents of the file and "place" it inline in the  
cmake file that is using the 'include' command. In that respect there  
is no "scope". As long as CMake can open the file it can be included.
