In ./dir1/dir1patch.pd I [declare -path dir2]

and in each of the patches I print out that the patch has loaded.

If I open 'top.pd' I get an error " dir2patch ... couldn't create"

pd top.pd

But if I open 'dir1/dir1patch.pd'

pd dir1/dir1patch.pd

or cd dir1 && pd dir1patch.pd

I have no errors.
I thought declare -path was supposed to be relative to the enclosing patch? Am I using it wrong?

I'm running 0.47.1
