I have done the tutorial successfully, catkin_make and execution work.

The tutorial says:

include_directories(include ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS})

But I did, and it still works:

include_directories( ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS})

So , the word include is optional? why? Thanks in advance

Adding include is only necessary if your package contains an include/ subdirectory with headers needed for compiling some of your C++ programs.

If there are no such references, the include is unnecessary, but harmless.

For more details, see: http://docs.ros.org/indigo/api/catkin...
