Since you are only linking to these files, you can simply define a project component that will make sure these files will be copied into the correct location. Then use links with relative path, and this should do the trick. The level-dependent setupfiles Sebastian describes in his tutorial are for different purposes. - Carsten Ideally, I'd like to have that information inferred, or at least external to the included projects, as they should not have to know at which location they are used.

[Orgmode] Proper way to link external files into a project?
Hi! I'd like to include several files into an org-mode project that live outside the project tree. I tried to just symlink them into the appropriate place into my project, and thought that might suffice to get them published correctly, but that doesn't work out, as org-mode doesn't consider the symlink's name, but the true filename; for example, I have this: (setq org-publish-project-alist '((homepage :base-directory ~/homepage :base-extension org :publishing-directory ~/public_html ...) ...)) % ls -l ~/homepage/software/SPE.org lrwxrwxrwx 1 rotty rotty 26 Jul 14 15:01 /home/rotty/homepage/software/SPE.org - /home/rotty/src/spe/README org-mode publishes this as ~/public_html/README.html, while I'd like it to use ~/public_html/software/SPE.html. After playing around with EDebug for a while, I've come up with the following horrible hack, which does what I want, but is nowhere near a general solution: diff --git a/lisp/org-publish.el b/lisp/org-publish.el index 38e1c7b..2c42685 100644 --- a/lisp/org-publish.el +++ b/lisp/org-publish.el @@ -414,6 +414,9 @@ PUB-DIR is the publishing directory.
