nginx ignores my include directive?
As the documentation states.
Since version 0.6.7, paths are relative to directory of nginx configuration file nginx.conf, but not to nginx prefix directory.
If you verify that the path is relative to the nginx configuration file does it then still not work?
The answer above is wrong as of now. According to the docs:
nginx uses absolute paths only, all relative paths in configuration files are relative to --prefix==PATH.
