I hope there aren't too many posts like this.

Building a solution
getting
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'arxHeaders.h':

The ..\inc path is on the  environment variable PATH
The File exists

I've tried both
#include "arxHeaders.h"
and
#include <arxHeaders.h>

any ideas ??

Resolved I think

In the Tools->Options Dialog I needed to change the 'Show directories for' combo to 'Include Files"
ie Corresponds to environment variable INCLUDE.
I had them set in the  'Executable Files'
ie Corresponds to environment variable PATH.

I recommend against adding the ObjectARX folders to your global settings, as it prevents you from targeting multiple AutoCAD versions. Add them to your project settings instead, so that you can specify different paths for different project configurations. Also, use environment variables:

You should avoid adding paths globally and add them at the project level. see pics
I use system variable but you can just add the paths directly

oops, do it as sifu Owen does
