Yeah, I think this is the best option and it's what I was suggesting Ian to
do. The [s4pd] can be easily loaded without declare if it resides in a
folder also called "s4pd" in "externals", cause Pd just searches inside
folders with the same name as the object.

Hence, if the object also looks for these needed files on the same folder,
it's as simple as can be.

Moreover, other files that you open with [s4pd] (specific scripts) can
follow the same usual way of searching for them in the same folder as the
patch, and in the user added paths (also being able to specify subfolders
and whatnot via "folde/" prefixes and stuff)
