This doesn't work in tcsh for example. If you are using *.h in a directory which itself doesn't contain a file that matches, sh doesn't expand the wildcard and sends it unresolved to the application. tcsh doesn't do this, though, but instead raises an error message: find: No match. Cd into the include directory itself and try it again. You will be surprised...
