Ideally, you'd put all of the files users aren't supposed to access
outside of the document root, so there just isn't a uri that points to the
file.
If (as your question makes it sound) the includes do nothing but define a
class, and don't actually run any code, then it really doesn't matter if
users directly access an include, as nothing will happen.
