Description

I believe the addition of the ExternalIncludePath element in .vcxproj files introduces an issue that re orders includes, and is related to this issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15221270/build-error-in-the-refclock-h-header-file-a-part-of-windows-platform-sdk/15221769#15221769

Research direction

Start with the project files under Samples\Win7Samples\multimedia\directshow\baseclasses and reproduce the failure using Microsoft Build Engine 16.10.0. Inspect how the ExternalIncludePath element affects include ordering and compare the result with the linked refclock.h discussion; done means the baseclasses project builds successfully again.
