This is what I use except I leave out the path since documents are being
moved around within our group. The thing is that if you leave the path out,
you simply need to set the current directory to where your files are
(File/Open/ move to desired dir., don't select any file, click OK, than Cancel).

Also, you might want to set Bookmarks in your "Referenced Documents" for
every thing you are going to reference. In your "current" file, you use
{INCLUDETEXT "filename.ext" bookmarkname [switches]}. You cannot get the
page number, or chapter number automatically. But you could always include
the chapter number as part of the bookmark name. The page number is bound to
change anyway, but chapters are fairly stable.
