-----------------------------
The usage requirements of a target can transitively propagate to dependents.
The :command:`target_link_libraries` command also has ``PRIVATE``,
The :command:`target_link_libraries` command has ``PRIVATE``,
``INTERFACE`` and ``PUBLIC`` keywords to control the propagation.

Usage requirements are propagated by reading the ``INTERFACE_`` variants
of target properties from dependencies and appending the values to the
non-``INTERFACE_`` variants of the operand. For example, the
:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` of dependencies is read and
appended to the :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` of the operand. In cases
where order is relevant and maintained, and the order resulting from the
:command:`target_link_libraries` calls does not allow correct compilation,
use of an appropriate command to set the property directly may update the
order.
For example, if the linked libraries for a target must be specified
in the order ``lib1`` ``lib2`` ``lib3`` , but the include directories must
be specified in the order ``lib3`` ``lib1`` ``lib2``:
.. code-block:: cmake
target_link_libraries(myExe lib1 lib2 lib3)
target_include_directories(myExe
PRIVATE $<TARGET_PROPERTY:INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES:lib3>)
