Is there a way to have CCS 5.4 do an incremental build before launching a debug configuration after clicking the debug button?

By the debug button, do you mean the green bug icone? If so, that should automatically do an incremental build before launching the debugger.
I tried to see if I could reproduce the behavior you are reporting, but haven't been able to. If I change a builld property on a source file such as change optimization level or other option, clicking the green bug button causes the file to be rebuilt before the debugger is launched. Could you try importing your project into a new workspace and see if the behavior is reproducible?
