IMO you're absolutely right, but I didn't ask the question out of sheer curiosity but it has to do with the way script files (here at work) find the right files to include for navigation, banners etc. Symlinks to files and directories are used a lot and sometimes it's very convenient to include some files with an absolute path (the files which are the same for all) and some files with a relative path (the files specific for one page). mod_include had been used before PHP and it was common to use this technique.
