Procedure
I was working Ground Control/CIC at MDT.  Local Control (LC) accepted a point out; Aircraft Y on a visual approach to Runway 26 at CXY; inbound from the north.  LC had a VFR aircraft on a low approach to Runway 31 at MDT departing eastbound.  LC was also working a VFR helicopter that departed CXY eastbound as well.  Both VFR aircraft saw each other.  LC cleared Aircraft X; for takeoff on a 050 heading behind both VFR aircraft.  While Aircraft X was airborne LC realized that he forgot about Aircraft Y point out into CXY.  We notified the FLM right after the event.  In this event LC forgot about Aircraft Y inbound from the north while Aircraft X was on a 050 heading departing MDT.Keep scan going further from the airport.  Use memory aids.
MDT Tower Ground Controller reports of the Local Controller approving a point out on an aircraft that is inbound to a close proximity airport.  The Local Controller then departs an aircraft from his airport causing a conflict and loss of separation with the inbound pointout.
