include dirname(__FILE__).'/myfile.php';

However, it's a good idea to have a specific "includes" directory, put all
your included files into there and then just refer to them as:

include 'myfile.php';

without including a directory path at all(!) but instead using the
include_path setting to specify where include files will be found.
