The current syntax of relative paths is :

'../<path>' ==> access to a file located in the calling component, i.e. 
the component of the first method in the stack backtrace that is not in 
the same component than the current one ; the top-level component being 
the current project.

'.../<path>' ==> access to a file located in the current project.

'./<component>/<path>' ==> access to a file located in the specified 
component, provided that, of course, the component has been loaded.

Otherwise, './<path>' or just '<relative path>' ==> access to a file 
located in the current component.

I hope it's more clear now.

The './<component>/<path>' syntax may change before the 3.12 release.

Maybe for something like '.[<component>]/<path>', or 
'..<component>/<path>', or something else.
