I have found some use cases for hard coded paths in the source files..
although these use cases are rare. I think even delphi main project DPR
file does this, if I remember correctly, but I found other uses cases
other than that.  One example might be when you are writing a quick
program and don't want to send in a whole bunch of -Fu options and go into
dialog boxes in lazarus configuring it, so you just quickly write it in
your program ../someunit instead of configuring -Fu which can be obnoxious
and tedious.. But that's just one use case. Another use case, AFAIR was a
build system instead of gnu make.
