As noted in the manual there is a SpoolDir directive which is used to set the working directory to, so that relative paths are rooted there. Unfortunately for the include directive this does not work since it needs to parse the config file for SpoolDir. For this reason you should expect it to use the current working directory when it is started in foreground, otherwise it will be the working directory of the windows service control manager, which seems to be %WinDir%\System32. For this reason it will behave differently with relative paths when started with -f or as a service so you should be careful with relative paths in the config file, it is best to avoid them. I'm cc-ing the list for future reference.
