Sorry, I used too few "..".  The correct way is

  (expand-file-name "../../../../include" data-directory)

I honestly don't understand why you need this at all.  emacs-module.h
is supposed to be installed in the compilers include tree, where the
compiler looks for header files by default.  So you shouldn't even
need to know where the header lives, in order to compile a module.
The module's code should just do

  #include <emacs-module.h>

and that's it.  Or what am I missing?
