You should use the relative path in #include.

For example to import header1 use -#include "./lib/header1.h" and to import common use #include "./common/common.h"

From VSCode, you can right click on the headers and select Copy Path. That should work when including headers from anywhere on your computer.
As for the .cpp files, you could use relative paths to the directory you're compiling in, when compiling and linking the files, or use the -I option when compiling with g++.
This might help.
