recommend use of get_template_directory() instead.

See ticket: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18298 - titled 'deprecate TEMPLATEPATH and STYLESHEETPATH' and, in particular, this comment:

"This would be very well received by the WordPress.com VIP team. We are regularly cleaning up TEMPLATEPATH and STYLESHEETPATH, replacing with the get_ functions in VIP partners themes' function to ensure features like mobile theme plugins and post-by-email work which don't go through initialization of those constants.
