hierarchies

I do have a bit of a problem which has not been clearly explained in the suggestions to my previous posts and that is the question of hierarchies. I have not yet understood how to include a file anywhere in a directory tree and have it point to the right file which may be in the top directory or, most likely, in a /lib/ directory from the file that is including. Any suggestions, or should I just make myself small and wait for the rotten eggs and spoiled tomatoes to come raining down on my head? :'( -- unheralded genius: "A clean desk is the sign of a dull mind.
