Actually the docs do state that you can do it using relative paths:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ExtensionManager/2.0/mxi_file_format.pdf#Page=13
(page 13 in case the anchor doesn't take you there automatically), however, in practice, it doesn't seem to work for the ../ type of relative pathing. In Extension Manager 2 (CS4) you'll get an error message:
"A file contains an invalid parent path reference (..). The extension package will not be created."

Thanks guys...we already have .mxi files. We were just looking for a way to specify files "relative" to the location of the .mxi files. It looks like you can do that if the files are "upstream" in the folder heiracy but not "downstream". If you can, it does not appear we can find it in the documentation.

Here's a link to a DW extension that provides a UI for specifying your
settings and generates the .mxi for you:

There may be a few fields that it doesn't support, but it's the easiest
way to get started.
