You might want to try using relative-includes, either by activating this 
option in your lilypond files:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/including-lilypond-files

or activating this option from the command line:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/usage/command_002dline-usage#advanced-command-line-options-for-lilypond

When running lilypond-book, you can pass command-line options to 
lilypond by specifying the --process:
