thanks for that many responses.

in case somebody is interested, i tested them:

1. $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'], $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'], $_SERVER
['SCRIPT_NAME'] don't work, delivers information about the parent script,
even if the they're called from the included script.

2. __FILE__ works a treat - that's what i'm going to use

3. get_included_files() works equally well, but delivers an array that
i'd have to process.

4. debug_backtrace() does not work. i'd have to call it before file
inclusion, so i doesn't deliver any information about the files
