Yes, it is possible to automatically update includes when files are renamed or moved in Visual C++. This functionality is provided by the Visual Studio IDE through the use of the #include directive and the Visual C++ build system.

When a file is renamed or moved, Visual Studio will automatically update the #include directives in all files that reference the renamed or moved file. This is done by updating the file path in the #include directive to reflect the new location of the file.

However, it is important to note that this functionality only works if the file is moved or renamed within the project or solution. If the file is moved outside of the project or solution, the #include directives will not be automatically updated and will need to be manually updated.
