It has already been pointed out that if one .c file does an include you
can simply add this to the bottom of the makefile with no other changes:

	file1.o: include1.h

But I thought it would be useful to point out these syntaxes as well:

	file1.o file2.o: common.h
	$(ALL_OBJS): common1.h common2.h
