I found today while programming under Think C 4.05 that when #include-ing
files, things don't work if you are including an alias to a file. For 
instance:

---------------------- Directory Structure ----------------------
:HD80:
    Project:
        SomeHeader.h
        ...
        SomeDirectory:
            SomeHeader.h   <ALIAS to :HD80:Project:SomeHeader.h>
            SomeProgram.c
-----------------------------------------------------------------

If SomeProgram.c #includes "SomeHeader.h", the info never gets
included (presumably, the alias isn't dereferenced.)

Anybody else run into this problem?

System: Mac IIcx, 8Mb RAM, System 7.0 Release.
