I have the following that used to work:
#include "../walls/Walls_Textures.inc"
However, I have moved things one level deeper such that the file path
should be
#include ".../walls/Walls_Textures.inc"
Will this work? I keep getting an error. Thanks.
Mike

../../walls/Walls_Textures.inc

While there are some obscure pieces of software that interpret "..." in
path names as the "grandparent" directory, it is entirely non-standard.
The canonical form is "../..".

That worked, thanks.
