That isn't really a great suggestion for security reasons. <Location> should not be used for file-system locations, because it can be circumvented. This sounds like a problem that could best be solved with mod_macro, mod_define, or similar config-processing module (or a config pre-processor). I haven't checked the code to see exactly how relatively <Directory> sections are handled, but it is not something I would recommend.
