In Euphoria 2.3, you can define a new environment variable,
called EUINC. You can set EUINC to a list of directories
that Euphoria will search for included files. e.g.

SET EUINC=C:\MYDEVELOPMENTLIB;C:\EUSTUFF\WIN32LIB

Euphoria will search first in the same directory as
the main .exw or .ex file, then it will search the directories
listed in EUINC (left to right), 
then it will search your euphoria\include directory.

I have a separate directory in EUINC for Win32lib.ew and friends 
for example. That way I don't have to mix them in with euphoria\include.
If I want to try a new release of Win32Lib, I can change my EUINC
to list the new release first. Later I can rename that new directory, 
or remove it from EUINC, and go back to using the original Win32Lib.
