The foo library was created in the "foo" directory, thus in the "bar"
directory you need to use "../foo/$(DLLPRE)foo$(DLLSUF)".

Setting $INCLUDE should work.  What have you tried?

Aap will take care of dependencies between sources and targets in
different directories.  You just have to speficy what depends on what.

You still have to specify where to look for include files, Aap can't
guess where they are.
