I have found this unlogic behavior of uil (Motif 1.0.A):
when I include a file with a slash in its name,
then it is not searched for through the list
of include directories.
For example: 
>
>include file 'uil/XmAppl.uil';
>
gives a severe error, unless the file uil/XmAppl.uil exists.

From the documentation it is not clear that this is not an error.
I have changed uil that its include-behavior is smarter :-).
An include-file can be specified relative to the current
directory, absolute ( starting with '/' ) or relative to
a standard include directory (/usr/include, or -Imyinclude).
This change is one line of code in ./clients/uil/UilSrcSrc.c .
