incremental re-indexing is not 100% reliable

I was updating 'Additional Include Paths' in my project to fix a handful of fatal errors during indexing.
Every time I would tweak the 'Additional Include Paths' list, I would re-index 'Incomplete & Updated Files'.
After a while there were 0 files to re-index in the 'Incomplete & Update Files' list.
But there were still a handful of fatals in my Errors list, which wouldn't go away at that point.

After I did a full re-index, all these errors were gone however.

The Fatals were reported coming from 'non indexed files' - so maybe they just need to be cleared when doing a re-indexing?

The current issue is that we don't store include relationships for non-indexed files. So we don't know which errors in non-indexed files need to get cleared when only partly refreshing the project.

But we also need the full include hierarchy for similar other use-cases and this will be fixed then.

Sounds good. Having access to the full include hierarchy on the user side would also help with fixing those issues in the first place.
