Can't use relative path for include files outside projects

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a new folder called (for example) "inc" as a subdirectory of the 
workspace directory.
2. Place a file in it (e.g. "MyIncludes.ily")that you want to have available 
for \include statements in several projects.
3. Refer to it in a project as \include "../inc/MyIncludes.ily"

What is the expected output? 

That the file is included.

What do you see instead?

An error message. "Imported resource could not be found".

I can obviously work around this by using a full path to the file, but this 
reduces portability.

What version of the product are you using? Not sure - installed current version 
in December 2011.

On what operating system? Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04).

Please provide any additional information below.

So far, relative include paths are only supported for files that are in the 
workspace, so I set the type of this issue to enhancement request. As a 
workaround, create a new project with the include subdirectory ("inc") as its 
location.

Thanks - I'd deliberately created my "inc" directory within the workspace, 
thinking this would keep Eclipse happy. It hadn't occurred to me that Eclipse 
would require its formal inclusion as a (pseudo-)project.
