This is the behavior I would expect. include() is a lot like #include
(or :r in vi); it's as though the contents of the included file were
dropped into the middle of your CMakeLists.
Ergo, I would write:
> include( ../cmake/BoostUtils.cmake )
If you don't want to write ../cmake all the time, I'm pretty sure
there's a variable that controls where CMake will look for things to
include().
