I've done that, but only when I carefully arranged my directories so 
that "../init/foo.ly" meant the same thing whether I was including a 
file from an actual piece of music or whether I was including it from my 
main "global.ly" file.

Yes.

It's a bug that I never considered important enough to bother the main 
developers about, especially since I thought it would be a good exercise 
(and within my ability) to change it myself.  Or perhaps, to avoid 
existing stuff breaking, I should add a new \includeRelative command. 
Or something.

Of course, it's been about two years now, so I'm clearly never going to 
get around to it.  So perhaps this _should_ become an official feature 
request after all.
