In 21.3 of Merged LRM Draft 2, on `include, this is the text from 1800-2005: The syntax of the `include compiler directive is as follows: include_compiler_directive ::= `include "filename" | `include <filename> When the filename is an absolute path, only that filename is included and only the double quote form of the `include can be used. When the double quote ("filename") version is used, the behavior of `include is unchanged from Verilog. When the angle bracket (<filename>) notation is used, then only the vendor-defined location containing files defined by the language standard is searched. Relative path names given inside the < > are interpreted relative to the vendor-defined location in all cases. Stu asked, what is this "unchanged from Verilog"? Answer: Since absolute paths are allowed only with double quotes, assume we have only a filename or a relative path. With double quotes, the file is searched in the current working directory or in an include-file-search-directory specified by user with switch such as +incdir. With angle brackets, the vendor-defined location containing files defined by the language standard is searched. Relative path names given inside the < > are interpreted relative to the vendor-defined location in all cases.
