cmake - adding a submodule

I am trying to build a test project with a "submodule/subproject".

The compilation fails with:

example_01/src/main.cpp:2:10: fatal error: inc/foo2.hpp: No such file or directory
#include "inc/foo2.hpp" // #include "submodule/inc/foo2.hpp"
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/hello_world.dir/build.make:63: CMakeFiles/hello_world.dir/src/main.cpp.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:73: CMakeFiles/hello_world.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:84: all] Error 2

My files:

main CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12)
project(hello_world)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
set(CMAKE_CXX_EXTENSIONS OFF)

include_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR})
add_subdirectory("submodule")
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} 
src/main.cpp 
src/foo.cpp)

main.cpp

#include "inc/foo.hpp"
#include "inc/foo2.hpp" // #include "submodule/inc/foo2.hpp"

int main()
{
    foo();
    foo2();

    return 0;
}

foo.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "inc/foo.hpp"

void foo()
{
    std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
}

foo.hpp

void foo();

submodule cmakelist

project(submodule_dummy1)
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} src/foo2.cpp)

foo2.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "inc/foo2.hpp"

void foo2()
{
    std::cout << "FuuTwo\n";
}

foo2.hpp

void foo2();

Is there something else I need to declare so it can "see" the submodule header?

UPDATE

Tree

New main cmakelist

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12)
project(hello_world)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
set(CMAKE_CXX_EXTENSIONS OFF)

include_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/submodule)

add_subdirectory("submodule")
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} 
    src/main.cpp 
    src/foo.cpp)

new error message

You are missing a

include_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/submodule)

in the main CMakeLists.txt.

Also you need to compile and link submodule/src/foo2.cpp (by adding it as argument to the add_executable command in your main CMakeLists.txt.
