I did not care much about caching yet, but you are right about
includes. That's actually the reason why my parser doesn't handle them
yet. The switch between files is not obvious to catch.

I'd say this is something that should be brought to the CLang
community and discussed with them. If the task can be made easier by
changing CLang a big and exposing new interfaces, I'd bet they
wouldn't mind a few extra patches. What KDevelop does is far from
being uncommon and could benefit other people too.

In any case, if you become active on this, I'd love to follow the
progress and contribute if time allows.
