What? Me? Success? No way!

Aside from this, though, I am not sure I understand Leingang's question.

In any case, here is the only thing I did that might be relevant:  
Along with the other style sheets, I have a MygraphicsPaths.sty  in  
which there is just:

	\graphicspath{
............
		{../Reviews/CurrentI/Figures/}
		{../../Reviews/CurrentI/Figures/}
		{../../../Reviews/CurrentI/Figures/}
............
		{../Figures/Chapters/013/}
		{../Figures/Exercises/013/}
		{../Figures/Tests/013/}
............
	}

The first three paths are an example of what allows me to place the  
LaTex file in various sub-folders

The last two paths are an example of what allows me to keep the  
graphics file in various sub-folders

Then, LaTeX finds what's to be included. Not very fast but OK with me.
