It _should_ tell you the top level calling script. Show us what you
are doing exactly please. Btw, I am no fan of include files behaving
differently depending on where they're called from. What if your script
name changes ?

Open_basedir is a php setting telling the server the top_level directory
from which files can be opened in your scripts. It's commonly set to point
to your httpdocs dir. (In php.ini)
You got this warning because you tried linking files from your server's
root directory. Link takes a filepath, not a url. In other words, remove
the / from the arguments. (Or provide a full path to the file):

link ("index.php","index_body.php");

Using the phpinfo() function you can see if open_basedir is set and if so,
to what directory.
