In fact, I want Sneeps' \includeExercises (1/3/06 4:08 PM) but right now 
I want to clear up the path issue.

Now what I don't understand is that with Picture2.pdf instead of 
File2.tex, namely with

    Superfolder
       FolderA
          File1
       FolderB
          Picture2.pdf

the following

    \documentclass[11pt]{book}
    \usepackage{graphicx}
    \begin{document}
    This is text in File1
    \includegraphics[scale=0.75]{../FolderB/Picture2.pdf}
    \end{document}

works just fine.
