Yes, they should all be in the same
directory. All includes are relative to the location of the .info and .module
files. And the .install file will need to be in the same folder as well.
Think of the name of the containing folder as the name of the project which can
house multiple modules if you wish. It often has the same name as the module
but not always. A possible listing might be
--- sites/all/modules/annotation
annotate.admin.inc
annotate.install
annotate.module
annotate.info
annotate_manager.module
annotate_manager.info
annotate_manager.admin.inc
annotate_manager.install
I invented the concept of an annotate_manager
module in the same directory just to drive the point home. I intentionally
made the name of the containing folder different, just to point out that it has
no relation to the module names, but it is normally the same as the base module
name.
You can also deploy these folders at any
depth within your sites/all/modules folder. So if you want to keep all your
custom modules together in a
Sites/all/modules/custom folder instead,
have at it. But do keep the module files together in one folder. In that case
all these files would live in
Sites/all/modules/custom/annotation
instead.
Make sense?

Not installed in modules/system folder.
Dir structure as follows:
sites/all/modules/annotate/
sites/all/modules/custom/annotate/
The book was a bit
confusing as to where the files should go. Should they all be in one or the
other of these dirs and not split between the 2?
Thanks ... yes near the mark.

Guessing “annotate” is the name of your module. Is it installed

One common mistake is when moving files around when you’re first
learning how to develop is to leave a copy of your module in another
folder. When you do this, drupal might find that old copy first. If
it does that it will be looking for annotate.admin.inc in the wrong location.
My guess here is that you implemented a menu_hook that
references an include file (annotate.adin.inc ).
Make sure any duplicate/old module files are removed and then clear
your caches. You might also need to save changes to the module list to make
sure the system table (which keeps track of where modules are installed) gets
updated with the correct location of your module file.
Am I near the mark?

Hi All,
I am in Chapter 2 of Tomlinson's et al book about Pro Drupal 7 Development.
Get the following error upon completion of the code:
Warning:
require_once(/home3/tonymacc/public_html/drupal-7.0/modules/system/annotate.admin.inc)
[function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file
or directory in menu_execute_active_handler()
(line 499 of /home3/tonymacc/public_html/drupal-7.0/includes/menu.inc).
Grateful for any pointers.
Thanks
Tony
