I sometimes begin st.cmd with a variation on the following
to avoid a need for st.cmd to change directory.

or

or

(I sometimes put instance specific .db files under "iocBoot/*/" )

Last not least:
When using StreamDevice, I find it reasonable and easy enough to install protocol files using DB_INSTALLS and add

> epicsEnvSet("STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH", "$(EPICS_DB_INCLUDE_PATH)")

to have Stream find them in the same places.

Cheers,
