A smart approach to this might be to use variables for the file name,
and place them at the top of the scene file (or even in the INI file).
That way you can quickly see whether the scene uses files from a
location other than the scene directory (and you can quickly change it
if necessary, without having to sift through the entire scene file and
possibly a couple of include files).
