I also sort my includes this way. The trouble is, determining how generic an include (inclusion?) is is a fuzzy problem. Sometimes I get stuck trying to figure out which header is more abstract, and at times I've run into side effects like this even with reverse generic sorting.

Yeah, this header sorting is only meant to be a tool to help craft header files which are independent. If that's not your project structure then you can use whatever sorting you want.

In the end though you'll have to make a decision on how to sort the projects and which one is more or less specific than another. Kind of like deciding to just sort by pointer address if all else is equal.
