Hi

Yes, it is intentional. Include directive is relative to the config file
where it occured, while all other paths are relative to the CWD. I think
it makes sense, but we should clarify that in the documentation.

Perhaps we should change the default directory for other paths (e.g. logs)
to be build-configured base dir for that class of files (e.g. /var/log for
logs), not sure about that.
