I thought you wanted to avoid the cascade of ../../../ which is confusing,
so I recommended $(SRC_PATH) as a way to avoid that by using absolute
paths instead - which makes it easier to track down the include file
being sourced.

My inconsistency issue was with TEST_INCLUDES being relative to a
different directory than the rest. With that being addressed,
I don't think that using absolute paths for some files would be
inconsistent in a similar way. But I don't mind too much either way.
Feel free to keep the ../../../ scheme.
