Is it possible to create a cue sheet that reads individual tracks from within a subfolder? If so, how?

Note: in order for a cue sheet to work properly, the filename within the quotation marks in the filename line must match the filename of the MP3, as well as be in the same folder as the MP3.
I tried making a cue putting a second FILE after the first track and it wouldn't go past the first one. I guess you could always combine the files with mp3DirectCut making a cue in the process?
I'm pretty sure I've done this very thing before but I can't swear to it. Just try putting the path of the file into the cue sheet like this:
FILE subfolder\filename.wav WAV
FILE subfolder\filename.wav WAV

This may depend on the application used for reading the cue sheet.
At least full filename paths should work. Cue files like this should work with most programs:

OK, what Alex B suggested works fine!
Thanks!

Agh. The INDEX resets to 00:00:00 after each file... No wonder I couldn't get it to work in my test.
Why would you want a cuesheet in a separate directory?
It seems like it would make reorganizing your music collection a hassle, since you'd have to reorganize the collection as represented inside the cuesheets in addition to keeping track of the files themselves (cuesheets and audio files both).
Absolute paths would be twice the pain (if you put your files onto a disc, you can only run the cuesheets on a computer that mounts the disc drive as the same letter as when you constructed the cuesheet, right?).

It seems relative paths work perfectly fine in Foobar at least. I don't have any other players on this computer but WMP so I can't test it.
