in all honesty, it would really depend on how good the compiler/optimizer
is.. but since you're dealing with php.. and i assume that there's not a
good (if any) optimization process...
i would tend to say, include the function/file once, use the function as
required...

Yes, there is a big difference. Including files is expensive, even with
a compiler cache.
Hope that helps.
