Nested IncludePath and opening nested (X)IncludeFile

Hi there!

1.) IncludeFile and XIncludeFile should always be relative to the File's Path, they are called from, not from the main compiler-File.
Example showing the problem:

Code:

;File Main.pb:
IncludePath "MyFrame/"
  IncludeFile "Frame1/Inc.pb"
IncludePath ""

Code:

;File MyFrame/Frame1/Inc1.pb:
IncludeFile "var.pb" ;How should var.pb know, where it comes from?

A possibility to nest IncludePath would be nice too, perhaps using EndIncludePath to finish this (PB-steady syntax)

2.)

Code:

IncludeFile "Test.pb"
IncludePath "MyFrame/"
  IncludeFile "Frame1/Inc.pb"
IncludePath ""

DoubleClicking on Test.pb gets me to the file (it's opened in the ide)
DoubleClicking on Frame1/Inc.pb doesn't do so, since it's in a subfolder defined by IncludePath. Shouldn't be such a big problem to get this working, should it?

Greetings

if i remember well, includefile just copy/paste the target file into the current file when you compile your code because purebasic compiler is limited to one file

example

AAA.pb

Code:

define variable.i = 1

BBB.pb

Code:

includefile "AAA.pb"

variable + 1

at the compilation, purebasic just gonna compile BBB.pb which will be transformed like this

Code:

define variable.i = 1 ;AAA.pb copied / pasted

variable + 1

thats why the relative path don't change.

sorry for my poor english.

Using #PB_Compiler_FilePath will work as you want:

Code:

;File MyFrame/Frame1/Inc1.pb:
XIncludeFile #PB_Compiler_FilePath + "var.pb"
