Yes, for web designers who work on multiple projects, I think your approach
is best. I'm a one-web-site type of guy, so using absolute links (but
without the http: and domain part) for images and other often linked pages
seems better.

I suppose it all really depends upon how you have organized your site.

I tend to organize my site by projects, and I keep ALL files associated
with a particular project in the project directory or it's subdirectories.
On the other hand, some people like to organize their sites by type, keeping
ALL the GIF graphics for their site in /images/gif or something like that.

Many years ago, when I put the first DOE webserver online, that's how I
organized my files. However, as my site grew, I found it impossible to
remember what every graphic looked like by the (usually) 8+3 name I had
given
it, so I started organizing by project. And FWIW, I never found it practical
to use the long filenames possible with Unix/Linux. Retype
"This_is_a_graphic_with_a_long_filename" a hundred times on your command
line when you're under a deadline to create or edit a page or program 
and you'll understand why.
