Hi, As Jukka said the path can be relative to the Mapfile. Note if you have nested includes (an INCLUDE within another INCLUDE) the paths should be relative to the top-level Mapfile, not its parent.
The error "Please correct the issue in the text tab" isn't coming from MapServer - so maybe this is related to MapManager? You also have listed both Windows and Linux - could it be related to case-sensitive file names, or Window line-endings?
