I suspect the following problem IS hosting provider specific, but they
haven't been able to help me out so far. Perhaps I am doing something
wrong and someone is able to spot the issue... Here goes.

The actual path of the root dir of my account with hosting provider
(H.P.) is:
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/mydomain.com/
The webroot is a subdir of the root:
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs.
Include files go in:
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/mydomain.com/includes.
..htaccess in httpdocs contains:
php_value include_path ".|../includes"

I can specify additional subdomains in the control panel of my account.
They automatically go in
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/mydomain.com/subdomains/
One of these:
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/mydomain.com/subdomains/customer
which also has the subdirs 'httpdocs' and 'includes'
To browse httpdocs/index.php the subdomain the URL reads:
http://customer.mydomain.com[/index.php]
The .htaccess file in httpdocs is similar to the one in my master domain.
PHP recognizes the include_path setting properly, yet fails to open ANY
file in the includes directory (e.g.):
Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required
'dbconn.inc' (include_path='.:../includes') in
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/mydomain.com/subdomains/customer/httpdocs/counter.php
on line 4

Permissions are set along the same lines for both master and
sub-domains, 'r-x' to others for all subdirs involved, 'r--' for the files.

Any ideas what prevents PHP from opening include files for my
subdomains? Open_basedir is set to my root dir btw by H.P., if that
makes any difference for this issue.

Hope my message is readable enough. Thanks in advance!
Sh.
