Prefer Include 
View Source
Using -include_lib("myinc.hrl")., when including a single file, should be avoided.

-include_lib("myinc.hrl").Prefer
-include("myinc.hrl").Rationale
-include("myinc.hrl"). and -include_lib("myinc.hrl"). are functionally equivalent when
referencing files in the same application. The primary difference is that -include_lib allows
inclusion of headers from other applications by resolving the path relative to the specified
application's ebin directory. For example, -include_lib("elsewhere/theirinc.hrl"). will search
for theirinc.hrl in the elsewhere application's include path.
When including headers within the same application, using -include is simpler and avoids
unnecessary indirection.
This improves readability and reduces confusion about file location.
Options
