Exactly, that's the only situation where the path of the file is
included in the LaTeX code.

I can't find any documentation of \include other than simple use examples.
It seems some files are included by default,
The initialization of LilyPond is done in a number of files that are
included as soon as you start the program. Nothing that you have to
bother about.

\include without specifying the path.  It would be helpful to have this
explained.  What files are included by default?  What is the search path?

By default, the files are only searched in the current working
directory. You can add search directories with the flag -I to
the lilypond command.

What is the invocation order of included files?

The line
\include "file.ly"
is completely equivalent to pasting the contents of file.ly into
the current file at the line where you have the \include.

aka forward slash, aka reverse backslash, required?  Etc.

Since you run the Cygwin version, you should always use the
UNIX convention, see the Cygwin documentation or any UNIX
introduction.

If you install version 2.6, which doesn't require Cygwin, my guess
is that it's still best to use UNIX style, but you'd better try it
out yourself.
