Eclipse C++ Project with nested folders

I'm relatively new to C++; I know the syntax and stuff, but not much about the compiling part. I made a project using Eclipse, and it's gotten relatively big. So before I continue on, I want to put related files together in a subfolder. Currently all my files (source and header) are in src/ (like src/Foo1.h, src/Foo1.cpp, etc.), and I would like to sort it something like:

src/
 -> Foos
     -> Foo1.h
     -> Foo1.cpp
     -> Foo2.h
     ...
 -> Bars
     -> Bar1.h
     ...
 -> main.cpp
 ...

However, I would also like to have the includes be relative to the src folder (and the current folder too, if possible). For example, I would like Foos/Foo1.cpp to be able to include things like:

#include "Foos/Foo1.h"
#include "Bars/Bar1.h"

or,

#include "Foo1.h"
#include "Bars/Bar1.h"

I feel like this should be possible, but I'm afraid I don't know enough about C++ compilation or Eclipse CDT to figure out how to do it.

Add your paths /src and /src/Foos etc to the list of Include Paths and Preprocessor Symbols

For me it is under Project Properties -> C/C++ Include Paths and Symbols
