"When you give them a hand, they ask for the whole arm" department:

Is there a way to set up \graphicspath{} to go back up more than one 
level? For instance, in

    BookFolder:
        Chapter1Folder
            GraphicsFolder1
                Picture1.pdf
            TextFolder1:
                TeXFile1.tex
        Chapter2Folder
            GraphicsFolder2
                Picture2.pdf
            TextFolder2:
                TeXFile2.tex

I would like to use, say, \includegraphics{Picture1} in TeXFile2.tex.

(The book is for so-called "developmental students" and just to put in a 
reference does not work for them. Of course, I can always place a copy 
of Picture1 in GraphicsFolder2 but this makes editing murderously 
hazardous. This is the main reason I have a huge flat file as, last time 
I tried, for some reason, aliases didn't work.)

Hopeful regards
