What I actually have going is a switch operation with a number of
cases. After completing certain of the cases, I want it to return to
the top in oredr to start over.

So what I'm hearing here, I think, is a suggestion to, in this case for
example, create fucntion containing the switch conditional and the call
the function every time I want to start it over, including from within
the function itself. Is this right?
In some cases, it is useful to me to call an external file because in
some cases the file is an html file (an input form, say) with some php
code internal to it. Having it in a separate file makes it easy to
adjust the layout in Dreamweaver which will render the html if it is in
a separate html file.
The user then does something which then recalls the script with the
switch in it. Depending on the post or get data, different cases in
the switch conditional are triggered.
Regarding OOP, I have a general familiarity with it, but haven't used
it to any extent. In this case you are suggesting that it can be used
to create a collection of functions which can be called or modified
according to the objects created from the class. Is this right?
