Treehouse TeacherHi there, Rafail Mavrogordatos! There becomes a problem if/when you have a scenario when you move files or have something where file A includes file B which in itself includes file C. The relative path is going to change as you traverse these files.
Take a look at this stackoverlow answer and see if it clears things up.
Hope this helps!
