Source files cannot determine anything - they are not executables.

This is almost always unnecessary; the reasons why have been
explained in this and other newsgroups time and time again. The
question is usually asked about an executed script rather than a
sourced one, and that is somewhat easier to answer.

If you are using bash, try ${BASH_SOURCE[0]}. If that doesn't
contain the full path, the script is in (or relative to) the
current directory.
