As I said: The "generated included file got changed, update it" is  *not* 
implemented and I proposed a way to fix it which would not require much effort 
_and_ should scale well.

And again: it has *everything* to do with included files. You don't want to 
keep track to all changes in some generated files, just because the file got 
changed, do you? Well, I know I wouldn't. Only when I actually need it, I'd be 
interested, e.g. when I open/activate a document that includes one of these 
generated files.
