Uhmmm, what exactly does that mean?

Oh... Well, uhmmm, and then whenever you get code from someone else
that also has a non-flat scheme for the include files, will it be the
same story again? I'm sorry, but I can't really see your story as a
reason for us to change things back. However, if you explain what it
means for "vendor" incs to be "peer of the code" you're writing, I'm
sure we can help you find a tweak or two to get things the way you
need.
