$(CXXFLAGS) doesn't "include" $(CPPFLAGS). They're distinct.
The convention is to use them both together for C++. To build a C++
program, traditionally at least three tools are needed, and each has
its own flags for flexibility and clarity:
$(CPPFLAGS) for $(CPP), the C preprocessor
$(CXXFLAGS) for $(CXX), the C++ compiler
$(LDFLAGS) for $(LD), the linker

C++ uses the C preprocessor. That's part of the language's definition.

Read the parenthetical statement as:
(for example, the C, C++, and Fortran compilers)
I'm not sure it's possible to list every language that uses the C
preprocessor, though. Perhaps "Objective C" does; I wouldn't know.
How about Walter Bright's "D" language? Or "C with Classes"?
Or "B"? Or "BCPL"?
