Not sure which is faster, you would have to run a quick test to truly
see. From a design standpoint, I would put the function in a class and
load the class early in the file. You can then override the function,
make changes to the number of parameters or other "flexibility"
actions. The function also has it's own variable scope, which can be
very helpful depending on what you are doing. You can't do that with an
included file.
If you do use and include, you most certainly should use include_once
instead, unless you are dependent on changing/new variables in the
loop.
