include() on a file only works if you are on the same server (or have a
shared disk between servers).
When you include from an ip address, the request goes to the web server
which then processes it like it would any other PHP file.
If you change the extension to something not parsed by the server, you
will get the source code and be able to use it - but you'll be operating
on the remote machine and only have the resources (database, etc.) the
other machine has available to it.
