I need to write several documents (mainBook1.tex, mainBook2.tex,..), all with the same layout. So basically I moved all common settings to outer file (baseSettings.sty) extension, which is pleaced in other path from docs main TeX files. See my files tree:

 +-Documents

   +-Base

   | +-baseSettings.sty

   | +-BaseImages

   |   +-headerImage.jpg

   |   +-footerImage.jpg

   +-Book1

   | +-mainBook1.tex

   +-Book2

     +-mainBook2.tex 

mainBook1.tex:

documentclass[12pt]{article}

usepackage{import}

usepackage{../Base/baseSettings}

begin{document}

...

baseSettings.sty:

ProvidesPackage{baseSettings}

usepackage{geometry}

newgeometry{margin=2.0cm, bottom=3.5cm, top=2.5cm}

usepackage{...}

% HEADER AND FOOTER:

rhead{includegraphics[scale=0.3]{BaseImages/headerImage.jpg}}

rfoot{includegraphics[scale=0.2,valign=c]{BaseImages/footerImage.jpg}}

...

And problem is, that those .jpg files cant be found. If I move folder BaseImages into Book1 folder, everything works fine. But I would like to have base images stored only once.

So the question is: How to set those paths in .sty file as relative from this file?

I use: MiKTeX with TeXworks. I just press the Typeset button to create PDFs – I'm not familiar wih all the magic behind.

Is it possible to compile it with command?

You should never use a path with usepackage just use usepackage{baseSettings} and it's usually more portable to omit the path from includegraphics as well, so includegraphics[scale=0.3]{headerImage} then just arrange that Base// is in the tex input path and any files anywhere below that will be found.

 TEXINPUTS=Base//: pdflatex mainBook1

would work for example if you have a bash or similar command line, but normally you would set the default TEXINPUTS elsewhere.
