the shebang only works if you make the file executable...
do something _like_:
$> chmod ug+x /path/to/your/php/file

exactly what 'kind' of include is that then - looks normal to me.
maybe you need to learn a bit about how include works, what the 'current working
directory' is (and how this differs between CLI and SAPI versions), and how
the include_path ini setting affects the use of [include|require](_once)?
that said I've sometimes had to have script that runs off the cmdline and via a browser
and it can be a bit of PITA to get to work flawlessly in both envs :-)
.... as long as it works heh! :-)
