This should work as

\includegraphics[height=2.5cm]{path_to/figure.eps}

since only relative paths are supported.  Figures must be in the same
directory or in a sub directory.  Current versions of pdflatex work the 
same
way.

I was surprised by this recently when I tried to typeset an old document
that was organized as

dir
dir/tex/main.tex
dir/tex/include1.tex
dir/fig/fig1.pdf
dir/fig/fig2.pdf

and

\includegraphics{../fig/fig1.pdf}

failed in pdflatex because of security issues.
