You are right, when loading a DLL from specific folder, the linked DLL in same folder
can not be loaded. I have tested on Windows Vista.

Back to DLL injecting, It works since Windows 95. My program has been working
for many years, but not on Wine.

Here is how to inject a DLL into another process:

A.exe is linked to A.dll, A.dll is linked to B.dll, they are all in the same folder.

in A.dll I have a function called InjectDll(), it calls SetWindowsHookEx(WH_GETMESSAGE,...)
to inject A.dll into Notepad process. Since A.dll is lined to B.dll, B.dll will be loaded on
window, but on wine.

//in A.dll
LRESULT WINAPI GetMsgProc (int nCode, WPARAM wParam,  LPARAM lParam)
{
 if(g_hHookGetMsg==NULL) return 0;
 return(CallNextHookEx(g_hHookGetMsg, nCode, wParam, lParam));
}

DLLA_API int InjectDll(void)
{
 HWND hwnd = FindWindow(NULL,"Notepad");
 if(hwnd){
   g_hHookGetMsg = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_GETMESSAGE, GetMsgProc, g_hinstDll,GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, NULL));
   if(g_hHookGetMsg){
       PostMessage(hwnd, WM_NULL, 0, 0);
   }
 }
 return fnDllB(); //in DLLB.dll
}

Maybe in window SetWindowsHookEx not only map A.dll, but so all DLL linked by A.dll into Hooked 
Window process. 

Also at the time A.exe is injecting A.dll, B.dll is loaded, so the system knows where B.dll is.
Now I am wondering how window do that.

To Prove windows do it, I have put a Test suite at http://www.njstar.com/zipfile/HookApp.zip
It contains source project and compiled exe in BIN folder.

1. start BIN\App-exe\App.exe first, it's is not linked to DLLA or DLLB.

2. start BIN\HookApp.exe and DLLA and DLLB is linked and loaded.

3. Click BIN\HookApp.exe's menu Inject. it will inject DLLA into  BIN\App-exe\App.exe, and
    DLLB will also got loaded into  BIN\App-exe\App.exe on Windows. This will be fail on Wine.
