dirname(__FILE__) will get you the path from your included files. I don't
really see it as a "huge maintenance pain." Having include path relative to
included files may have a negative effect as well for systems that include
different modules or language files (with the same filenames) depending on
which top script is including them. So, it goes both ways.
