includes in CPlus

Help!! I Have a MacApp Problem;
 
I am trying to compile my MacApp program with additional custom C libraries
that were created in MPW C. The Libraries and their header files are stored in
a seperate directory on my drive. I added to my .MAMake file the line:
 
    OtherCPlusOptions = -i "MyHardDrive:Additional_Header_for_My_C_Libraries"x
            -i"MyHardDrive:Still_More_Additional_Header_for_My_C_Libraries"
 
This enabled the CFrontTool to find header files from these external libraries
that I included in my .cp files that it normally would not find.
 
Here is the problem: in these C Library header files that I'm including, they
contain addtional includes of their own (These C Libraries that I'm using are
arranged in a complex yet elegant network in their directory; there are many,
many libraries and they all work off each other).  These include statements
contain not just the name of the header file to include but also a partial path
name.  The CFront tool doesn't like these partial path names!!  It likes full
path names or even root file names, but it chokes on partial path names and
says it cannot find the file.  Why does the MPW C compiler accept partial path
names in the include statements but the CFront tool chokes on them.  I'm trying
to avoid changing the include statements because there are hundreds of files to
contend with.  My colleage that wrote these libraries had no way of knowing
that the partial path names would cause me problems in MacApp, because as I
mentioned above the MPW C compiler doesn't.  Is there some way I can tell the
CPlus Tool to accept partial path Names??? Any help would be much appreciated.
