Ah, the hell of pathes in PHP development!

However, I would search the answer in setting appropriate values for
$BACK_PATH and TYPO3_MOD_PATH, whatever that means and where it is to do.

I wouldn't call it a hack then. Just the daily difficulties of PHP
development increased by a dose of grown T3 architecture. 

V5 will bring improments here. :-)
