Check wscript.  The build rules will automatically add "extensions" folder to the header include path for any of the scenarios.  Currently, they don't do the same for the extension code, e.g., inside extension/ folder you need to use relative path for includes.  If you want to change that, replace in wscript

    common = bld.objects (
        target = "extensions",
        features = ["cxx"],
        source = bld.path.ant_glob(['extensions/**/*.cc', 'extensions/**/*.cpp']),
        use = deps,
***** includes = "extensions" *****
        )

(without ******)

I hope Yoshimichi Nakatsuka's answers addressed that.  Thank you very much Yoshimichi for the detailed explanation, we'll try to incorporate it on ndnSIM website asap.
