Hello. How do you import a file that is in an adjacent folder that you wrote
yourself, C's equivalent to #include "../folder/file"?  I can get import to
work for files in the same directory but not anything in higher or adjacent
directories.

In answer to your question, you use:

----
import folder.file;
----

Make sure to add -I../ to your command line when compiling if folder is 
in a parent directory :)

I have had this problem. The way I solved it was to pass the -I flag to the
compiler and pass in the path of the root-most dir of my source tree. If my
source
tree looked like:

c:\code\d\test
c:\code\d\test\sub1
c:\code\d\test\sub2

and a module in sub2 needed to import a module in sub1:

import sub1.somemod;

I would pass the compiler:

dmd -c -Ic:\code\d\test
