Subject: Re: readfile not understood

Finding the file works with \ReadFile{} works. But is generates another problem because
\input ../../../metapost-setup
and
\ReadFile{metapost-setup}
behave differently! The \input process my \startMPinclusions correctly but the ReadFile does not, because the following metapost has the definitions missing.

The convenience of \readfile should be, if I understand correctly, that it searches upwards to the root of directory tree. Which makes the series of ../'s unnecessary and allows for easily pushing the tex-files further down when their number grows.
