Hi,

  The feature you are looking for can work with the current version
  of semantic with some caveats.

  Mainly, all the "smart" stuff tries to be, well, smart, and only
  search headers.  This boosts speed over searching through the tags
  in all files that might be in your project.  Unfortunately, it only
  scans down one level of includes.  Thus if you include
  "super-header.h", and that includes "header-i-use.h", then you will
  be out of luck.

  You can use `semanticdb-find-test-translate-path' to see if the
  right things are on your path.  (I forgot to include it in other
  emails I sent today.)

  As Bruce pointed out, there is commented out code to re-enable
  this, but it is tricky.

  I suspect there is a clever way to solve this, but I just haven't
  been clever enough lately.

  (let ((p (semanticdb-find-translate-path nil arg)))
    ;; Output the result
    (with-output-to-temp-buffer "*Translated Path*"
      (while p
	(princ (semanticdb-printable-name (car p)))
	(princ "\n")
	(setq p (cdr p)))
      )
    (message "%d paths found." (length p))
    ))
