What are the potential pitfalls of organizing files in separate folders for breadcrumb navigation in PHP?

Organizing files in separate folders for breadcrumb navigation in PHP can lead to issues with file path references and can make it difficult to maintain and update the file structure. To solve this, it is recommended to use a centralized configuration file to define the paths for breadcrumb navigation. 

// config.php
define('ROOT_PATH', dirname(__FILE__));
define('INCLUDES_PATH', ROOT_PATH . '/includes');
define('TEMPLATES_PATH', ROOT_PATH . '/templates');

// breadcrumb.php
include 'config.php';

// Use the defined paths for breadcrumb navigation
echo '<a href="' . INCLUDES_PATH . '">Home</a> > <a href="' . TEMPLATES_PATH . '">Templates</a>';
