Thanks for the help though! H'mm, the only even *vaguely* useful thing I can think of here is that dirname(__FILE__) should give you the full directory path of the *current* include file. Fine for "here-relative" names, but you'd need to manipulate it further to do the equivalent of ..-type relativities. Cheers!
