[opencms-dev] Strange JSP compile behaviour

[Joe Lam]

I did similar thing. Not sure if the problem I got was the same as yours.
I have JSP files include lib/aaa.include file. and also the aaa.include 
file includes another file.
the relative path in aaa.include's <@ include> tag caused error.
seems it is safe to use relative path in JSP. for those files being 
included, you need to pay attention on the path.

hope this help
