Lets try and visualize:

dir/myIncludeChaos
   object1.pov
   object2.pov
   object3.pov
   include1.inc
   include2.inc


dir/myWorkingStructure
   subdir/car
     link to object1.pov
     link to include2.ini

   subdir/house
     link to include1.ini

     subsubdir/furniture
       link to object2.pov
       link to object2.pov
       link to include2.ini

dir/myIncludeChaos holds the actual files. dir/myWorkingStructure is 
what you see. In your editor you go to /house and open the link 
include1.ini. Your editor actually opens the include1.pov from the chaos 
directory.
