relative paths in view files, can't include view files

[eluser]LAMP Coder[/eluser]
I'm trying to organize my view files into folders, following is the directory structure

Code:

Views
- CommonFiles
    - header.php
    - footer.php
- Section1
    - section1_index.php
- Section2

now, when i try to include header.php in section1_index.php it doesn't work.

I've tried following:
1.

Code:

include 'CommonFiles/header.php';

2.

Code:

include '../CommonFiles/header.php';

Neither of them work, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong..

Either of the following should work

Code:

include APPPATH.'views/CommonFiles/header.php';
or
$this->load->view('CommonFiles/header');

Also, for consistency with the CI guidelines, it's recommended to use all lower case and underscores then camelcase
