SUBDIRs and slashes

In recursive subsystems, some follow the rule
"1 Makefile per directory"
I like to follow that rule when the Makefile does things besides
recurse.
We have an architecture where each subdirectory has source and include --
i.e.
foo/source
foo/include
I had to put a makefile in foo which just has the line:
SUBDIRS=source
So I wouldn't get:
common/Makefile.am:1: directory should not contain `/'
Just wondering for some thoughts on this matter...is there any
reason to insist on single level source directories in recursive make...
