It does not work in this kind of situation:
/series/slayers/lina/index.inc does <!--#include file="../index.inc"-->
/series/slayers/index.inc does <!--#include file="../index.inc"-->
If I access http://.../series/slayers/lina/index.inc, then it will do the
first include correctly. But in the second include, it resolves the
path name relative to /series/slayers/lina/ instead of /series/slayers/,
so it ends up including /series/slayers/index.inc instead of
/series/index.inc.
I worked around this by doing "PerlSetVar IncludesDir /home/goamembers/www"
(which is my DOCUMENT_ROOT), and then using includes such as:
<!--#include file="/series/slayers/index.inc"-->
<!--#include file="/series/slayers/lina/index.inc"-->
