You have a lot of languages and platforms tagged, can you narrow it down and tell us what you are really programming in?

Solution 1

You may use GetPrivateProfileString[^] for reading the path of the other INI file. Then use the obtained string as lpFileName parameter in successive GetPrivateProfileString calls.
