I believe i18np has nothing to do with -th form. at least in Russian and Ukrainian
the suffix (actually called 'ending') will be the same for any number.

so instead I suggest making a switch(m_item.pathNumber%10) and using several i18nc() - 
return i18nс("%1 % 10 = 1", "In %1st include-path", m_item.pathNumber );
return i18nс("%1 % 10 = 2", "In %1nd include-path", m_item.pathNumber );
return i18nс("%1 % 10 = 3", "In %1rd include-path", m_item.pathNumber );
return i18nс("%1 % 10 >= 4", "In %1th include-path", m_item.pathNumber );
