Sure, just put a copy of the function in every file which will call it.
That way you don't have to include it and it's available. Of course,
you'll have dozens (or hundreds) of copies running around, but who cares?

Seriously - if you don't include the file, how is PHP supposed to know
what to execute? Any function you're going to call must either be
defined in that file (directly or via include/require), or defined in
PHP or a PHP extension.
