i guess so.

however, i just checked and there *is* a way to trigger a peculiarity:

additional to your specs, consider:
- /home/fugl contains a file "bar.pd"
- /home/blah/bar.pd contains a [declare -path /home/fugl]
- /home/blah/foo.pd is saved with an instance of that (/home/blah) [bar]

THEN

-> when you load "foo.pd", the [bar] will be loaded from /home/fugl/bar.pd


that's related to the (dreaded) behaviour of [declare], that injects
declare-statements into parent patches (without corresponding objects).
i *believe* this is a bug in [declare] (and actually wanted to fix this
on the go as well, but forgot about it).
