There sure are. :-)
As I see it, your options are:
1) Accept it. Project A uses Library B and its copy of Library C, and
Library B uses its copy of Library C.
2) Project A knows that Library B includes Library C, so Project A
only includes Library B via externals and uses Library B's copy of
Library C.
3) Library B doesn't include Library C but requires that the project
into which it's included does so, and Library B then accesses the
copy of Library C available one level higher.
