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.

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 "../..".
