The web server won't load the included files, it won't have a clue what has
been included, as this is handled by the PHP parser module.

The extension has nothing to do with if the file will be parsed or not, but of
"security" reasons it's vise to set the php extension to the include files too.
When you include a php script, see to that the PHP code in that file has the
'<?PHP' and '?>' tags, or else the php code will be treated as plain text.
example:
--- file1.inc.php ---
<?PHP
echo "Hello";
?>
--- eof ---
--- file2.inc.php ---
echo "Hello";
--- eof ---
--- index.php ---
<html><head><title>php include test</title></head><body>
First include: <?PHP include 'file1.inc.php'; ?><br>
Second include: <?PHP include 'file2.inc.php'; ?><br>
</body></html>
--- eof ---
If you run this small example you will notice that the output will look like this:
First include: Hello
Second include: echo "Hello";

Sure you can, there is no problems with that at all and it's justed quite a
lot on the most big projects you can find (see freshmeat.net).
