The man page does not say that.  See the documentation of the
filedir() function.  (If you do use a relative filename, it's relative
to Remind's current working directory.)

The proper way to include a file relative to your home directory is:

     INCLUDE [getenv("HOME")]/some-file

Since Remind already has a way to include a file relative to the current
file and relative to the home directory, I won't be applying any patches
in upstream.
