Tip #299: Open file under cursor.

A little thing that I did and found quite useful:

function! OpenFileUnderCursor()
let FileName = expand("<cfile>")
let OldPath = getcwd()
silent cd %:p:h
execute "silent sp +e " . FileName
execute "silent cd " . OldPath
endfunction

map! silent <M-e> :call OpenFileUnderCursor()<CR>

Then use Alt+E on a filename to open it (relative to the directory the current file resides in).
