Thinking about it the other option which I think would be clearer for people learning would be to suggest that people add ~/ros_tutorials to their ROS_PACKAGE_PATH. 

Like so:
Assuming your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH is ~/ros/stacks:
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=~/ros/stacks:~/ros_tutorials

As to the editing you need to manually follow the "<<Include" macro's argument and edit that wiki page.

Yea that makes sense, and works too. Thanks!

This would be relevant wiki page - I couldn't see how to edit the 'tutorials' section at the bottom - 'edit text' just brought up the the first section?

Bill's suggestion is what I would recommend too.  ROS_ROOT is already in
your search path.  The tools won't get confused since ROS_ROOT comes first.

Can you say which wiki pages you were following so they can be updated?
Or feel free to update them yourself.
