Cannot include file with the same name but other directory

Development Programming & Scripting
1

Actually running this on master branch, not 4.9. (I need VS2015.)

In file proj_dir/Source/Polygon4/Modification.h I include file proj_dir/Source/Polygon4/UI/Modification.h. And I see an error from UHT.

Source file:

#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"    
#include <UI/Modification.h>    
#include "Modification.generated.h"

UCLASS()
class POLYGON4_API AModification : public AActor
{
	GENERATED_BODY()            
public:
    AModification();
};

Error:

I don’t think it is supported by UE to have files/classes with the same name, even in different directories. I guess you added the file manually, because the “New C++ class” function from the editor would not allow you to create a class with an existing name in the first place. So if you rename one of your files it should compile again.
