yes, although in C++ they can also end in .hpp

You can add additional pathes for include files in Dev-C++ for a project
when you type them in the "extra include directories" box. Or you can
add them to Options/Compiler Options/Directories.
And of course, your own include files can always be in the same
directory as the source code files. But you have to use #include "..."
instead of <...> then.
