AFAIK, Ikarus does not provide that.
What Ikarus and other R6RS systems do provide is their library search
paths. I've used this to make my `include/resolve' which finds files to
include relative to the search paths. E.g.:
(include/resolve ("xitomatl" "sxml-tools") "sxml-tools.scm")
Maybe the same approach could be used for your purpose. The caveat is
that the first matching sub-path under a search path is used but if you
have the same sub-path under multiple search paths and want one that's
not found first you won't get it. But a modified approach could be done
that checks if the same sub-path is under multiple search paths and
decides what to do about that.
See the file "xitomatl/include.sls" and its compatibility files:
