And you can't have it as a setting because in order to use settings, you must include the global.php file. And, in order to include the global.php file, you need to have the path correct. And if the path is set in a setting, which needs global.php to be called in order to use it.... round and round and round you go.

ok but how do i get the style to show correct? and the images?

Add <base href="http://yourdomain.com/" /> to the top of your headinclude template.

that worked. thanks. but why does it have to be in the top? i tested at the bottom and that didn´t work.

EDIT:

is it possible to have a plugin that automatic edit the template and add this in the top of header include? if so how?

Because code is executed (not really "executed" in the programming sense, though) in the order it appears. You will find that there are Javascript links in the template.
