Putting everything in root on the XT started getting messy so I did the
following:  My root now consists only of 'autoexec.bat' and subdirectory
listing.  All DOS files (mode, chkdsk, etc.) were placed in '\system'.
Secondary tools (i.e., tools I had to write) were placed in '\tools'.
In autoexec.bat path was set to 'path=c:\system; c:\tools' in order
to cause searches to different subdirectories.

I too ran into the problem of programs that only recognized its
current directory.  The only 'solution' I have found so far is to
write batch files  to move files around.  E.g., after writing a piece
of source code, I have it copied over to the appropriate compiler
subdirectory (e.g., \compiler\c).  Not much of a solution I admit,
but it works for me.
