Why do you need EXPORT_FILE parameter? How can you use it? Include
automatically? Then you need VERSION_FILE parameter as well.

You'll have in BarConfig.cmake.in
set(BAR_INCLUDE_DIR "@PACKAGE_HELPER_INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR@)
After configure_config_file() you'll have
# At top
get_filename_component(_PKG_CURRENT_DIR "${CURRENT_LIST_FILE}" PATH)
get_filename_component(_PKG_PREFIX_PATH "${_PKG_CURRENT_DIR}/../../.."
ABSOLUTE)
#in place of your set()
set(BAR_INCLUDE_DIR "${_PKG_PREFIX_PATH}/include")

Not yet. I think about something like this (not tested).
foreach(var ${PACAKGE_HELPER_PATH_VARS})
if(NOT DEFINED ${var})
message(FATAL_ERROR ...)
else if(IS_ABSOLUTE ${${var}})
file(RELATIVE_PATH PACKAGE_HELPER_${var} ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}
${${var}})
else()
set(PACKAGE_HELPER_${var} ${${var}})
endif()
endforeach()
It would be nice to make those PACKAGE_HELPER_* vars local to
configure_config_file() function.
