CONANFILE and REQUIRES at the same time?

Is it possible to use CONANFILE and Requires at the same time? CONANFILE also has some requires.

I tested it, and it seems to work, but I just want to make sure.

Hi @aminya, Thanks for the feedback. Only one of the two methods should be used, in fact, I think that using both of them at the same time should throw an error so I'll open a PR to fix this.

This is not a bad thing. I actually like this. As you see here, it allows us to use some options from Cmake to adjust the build and also use the same options for installing the requires.

Unless #236 becomes available you should not remove this feature.

So, is this behavior still supported? I want to have both, which gives me the possibility of separating static and dynamic dependencies. If it is supported I would go ahead and use it.
