I also think as Stephen,
Having an option to specify parent with relative path will be very helpfull,
I'm sure a solution can be found to provide this functionality.
Maybe something like having both <relativePath> and <version> and give
precedence to <relativePath> such that if it is found, it will be used and
if not, the <version> will be used instead...
