Good point. I wanted to bring it up before.
I havent tested in v3, but in previous versions that allowed subfolders in the
include statements, slashes were not interchangable. / would only work for linux
and windows, but \ would only work for DOS and windows.
From glancing at the source, I think the problem might have been addressed
 already in v3.

From experience, I can tell you that you should normally use forward slash of
 course, since backslash is a valid character within file and folder names on unix
 systems.
IMO, Eu should only support forward slashes to be in accordance with x-plat
compatability since neither slash is a valid character in a DOS/WIN file name.

We'll have to test and verify to see. It would be a simple fix in the
interpretter if need be.
