Synchronize editor with views could work with files on the include path. At the moment it doesn't, see: Re: Synchronize editor with views is not working as expected http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213471 Note: some users may want an option to enable/disable this feature. Personally speaking, it doesn't matter, because I see this more as a bug rather than an enhancement.
Unfortunately too late for NB 7.3. I will implement it for the next version.
