Ooooouuuuhhh... I think I just grasped my quandry by the tail...
I had not thought about it before, but the problem seems to be that my
header(s) do sometimes include links and/or other includes... so, I
think there is no simple solution to this. I simply have to make
different versions of such headers for different (sub)directories.
Thanks for the clarification.
