It's not supposed to be bracketed by <?php> and <?>, but by <?php and ?

your require-d file if you want it to be understood like php code, but
if you don't, it will be understood as raw output. Just like any other
php file:
<?php
if ( $x ) {
?>
some output here
some output here
some output here
<?php
} else {
?>
some other output here
some other output here
some other output here
<?php
