The information there is slightly out of date:  the last version of
Miktex that I've tried has broken that solution.  I asked the author
about it, and he replied as below.

I think this is pretty poor behaviour on the part of Miktex, but in
other respects I prefer it to fptex.  

For what you're doing, you need to set up your
"$R_HOME/bin/helpprint.bat" file so that it makes use of the TEXINPUTS
environment variable.  You want the pdftex command to have something
like

-include-directory=%TEXINPUTS%

in it and then it will look in the right places for the includes.
