bash source search path

Hi,

I'm wondering if it is possible to source a file without specifying
the directory it is in (bash). Is there any way to specify the search
path for sourced files.

With this, I can just source a file just like including a file in C++.

source file_without_path

#include

Thanks,
Peng

If you had typed "help source" in bash you would see that "source" looks
for its file using the PATH variable.
