I don't agree with this one at all. The IDE offers full path and library
searches for all object modules and you can format the exact location for
each one. So please explain WHY it is the ONLY way to do it. Of course it
can beconme very slow and arduious if there are several paths containing
header files etc. This can become a nightmare to maintain over long periods
with stuff being moved all over the place. If this is embedded into each
file then the task becomes an order of magnitude larger, but still if the
other method is used then the link files need to be modified and the user
must be aware of the path for header stuff etc when creating and compiling.

So I may have answered my own question but it is not the ONLY way, just one
of several
