The JSP 1.1 spec is vague about how relative paths in include directives
and include actions should be interpreted. This has been clarified in
JSP 1.2: a relative path should always be interpreted relative to the
page that contains the directive or action element.
So what you describe is (arguably) correct for a JSP 1.1 container (since
the spec is vague) but incorrect for a JSP 1.2 container.
I suggest you report this as a bug to the Orion team, since I believe
they claim to implement the preliminary JSP 1.2 specification.
