When you include something without the full path in PHP, it's always the main
page relation to other files that you have to think of.

If file include/1.php includes file include/2.php, you have to use the full
path: include('/var/www/html/main/include/2.php');

Better can be to let the index files to include things, so for index.php it
would be:
include('include/1.php');
include('include/2.php');
include('include/3.php');
include('include/4.php');

in abc/index.php it would be:
include('../include/1.php');
include('../include/2.php');
include('../include/3.php');
include('../include/4.php');

another easy way to fix the paths is to use symlinks (some quite bad operating
systems don't have filesystems that supports symlinks).

cd abc
ln -s ../include

then you would have in abc:
file: index.php
symlink: include

and now you could have the same relative paths in both index.php.
