CircuitTikZ — relative coordinate

Question

Is it possible to use relative coordinate for bipoles ?

For example to draw a conductor, we can use : (0,0)-- ++(2,0), and I'd like to do the same with bipoles.

Thanks !

Yes, it is possible:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{circuitikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{circuitikz}\draw
  (0,0)to[sI] (0,4)
     to[R=$1\ k\Omega$,-*] (3,4) -- ++(1,0)
     to[R=$2\ k\Omega$] ++(2,0) -- ++(0,-4) to[R=$2\ k\Omega$] ++(-2,0) -- (3,4);
\end{circuitikz}

\end{document}

I apologize: the diagram is just a random code example; I've no idea of what (if any) meaning could it have.

EDIT: I include a reduced version of the code, so that it can be tested with older versions of the packages:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{circuitikz}

\begin{document}

\begin{circuitikz}
 \draw (0,4) to[R=$1$] ++(3,4) -- ++(1,0)
     to[R=$2$] ++(2,0) -- ++(0,-4) to[R=$3$] ++ (-2,0) -- (0,4);
\end{circuitikz}

\end{document}
