Troubles with routing

[eluser]IEDani[/eluser]
Hi,
I am a begginer with code Igniter and I am lost with the routing rules.

I´d like to include some parts of code, something so tipical. For example, I have in the folder views the file x.php, in this file I want to include the file foot.php (that is in a folder called includes, that is contain in views folder).

I think that I have to put in x.php file include("includes/foot.php") or include("./includes/foot.php"), but it doesn´t work.

If I put the absolute routes ir works good, but I prefer relative routes, do you knows how can include files with relative routes?

Thanks you,
Dani
