How does one write extconf.rb files when one extension includes header files from another?

This is a follow-up question for: Multiple Ruby modules under one directory
What happens if these extensions include each other? For example, you have the following structure:
ext/foo
ext/bar
In ext/bar/bar.h, you have a
#include "foo.h"
foo.h and foo.cpp compile to form foo.o, to make life a little more complicated.
Finally, it is necessary that foo and bar be separate extensions.
How is this managed? I can't figure out how to add ../foo to the search path for bar.h, primarily. Symbolic links seem hack-ish.
