Well, it's for sure gonna get included once, right?

If you're worried about it getting included again...

I'm not sure of the semantics of:
<?php
include 'foo';
include_once 'foo';
?>

Does it get "regsitered" in the first include?

I guess not, or you'd already be happy, right?

The standard work-around then is to do like this in your included file:

<?php
if (!defined('FILENAME_PHP')){
define ('FILENAME_PHP', 1);
//rest of code here
}
?>

So then you don't really care if it gets included twice, cuz it won't *DO*
anything the second time.

FILENAME_PHP should be a variant of the name of the file being included,
to avoid two files with the same work-around killing each other.
