File iteration with the preprocessor

Question

Am I correct that boost's file recursion requires that the file using the recursion must be in the include path?

I don't see it anywhere in the documentation, but I just debugged a problem where this seems to be the case. This makes using this as a means to generate boilerplate code automatically somewhat limited when used for a library as the library header file may not be in the include path.

Any comments?

It looks to be true. So I wrote a library to deal with this situation. Here it is if anyone else is having the same problem: https://sourceforge.net/projects/relativeiterate/
