Summary: declare doesn't correctly resolve paths in abstractions

Initial Comment:
The [declare] object when used inside an abstraction doesn't fully resolve declared paths. Attached example illustrates this. Here an abstraction directory with the following layout was created (ASCII art on):

.
|-- mypath
|   `-- myabs.pd
|-- somewhere.pd
`-- test
    `-- mytestabs.pd

mytestabs.pd contains a [declare -path ../mypath] to be able to use [myabs] in mypath without any prefix. However [myabs] in [mytestabs] only is created, if mytestabs.pd is opened directly. 

To show what's happening if mytestabs is used as an abstraction, somewhere.pd holds an object [test/mytestabs]. This instance of [mytestabs] however does not load the object [myabs] correctly, despite the [declare] instruction.

Opening both somewhere.pd and test/mytestabs.pd from the top directory should show this bug more clearly.

(Tested with current CVS MSP main.)

I made another example to illustrate this bug, which may be even easier to
understand. Just follow the README in attached archive.
