Firstly - there are two tests and one is a syntax test: syntax-query/syntax-construct-where-02.rq construct/constructwhere04.rq so we are only talking about one test.

Relative URIs are resolved as usual. The "(..)" can be dropped. If you copy the tests and execute locally, it's the directory; if you execute from the web copy, it's the website the file came from.
