Is "absolute path" a coherent concept when you are talking about 2 systems?

Is this question a coherent concept when it doesn't change anything when you substitute any other term like "full path" or "as much path as exists" or "any path"?
D:\etc\your.conf would like a word, they seem lost and confused.
It can be if you make assumptions about the basic structure of both systems. Some people rely on this behavior. It can be a good idea or a bad idea, depending on what you're doing.
