Yes, this is not relocatable because the read happens inside a function. Try with the read happening at the top level into a global constant:

```julia
# Test package with sample.jpg
module MyPackage

export send_sample_file

include_dependency(joinpath(@ __DIR__ , "../sample.jpg"))
const SAMPLE_DATA = read(joinpath(@ __DIR__ , "../sample.jpg"))

function send_sample_file()
    SAMPLE_DATA
end

end

```
