Toby,
Thank you for the reply. My include_path does include the parent
directory, and from info.php is:
..:/srv/www/htdocs:/srv/www/htdocs/includes:usr/share/php5:/usr/share/
php5/PEAR

My understanding of an include_path directive is that it is similar to
a DOS search path, in that if the file is not in the local directory
then the path is searched until it is found.
