Include file path priorities for assemblers

Yes. I don't know any assembler which would do so.

And now the situation becomes more complicated because you can have a whole tree of directories : a.s includes b/c.s, c.s includes d/e.s, and e.s includes f.s so where could f.s possibly fetch its files ? Could be current dir (command line), dir of a.s, b/ (dir of c.s), b/d/ (dir of e.s), etc.
It looks to me as if considering the source's dir is like opening a can of worms...

Which is exactly the reason I won't implement that (although Antiriad seems to suggest it).
The main source directory should be the only one which is used for relative path lookups.
