Inside methods, offcourse it's possible (allthough if/else structures
often (not always!) indicate a flaw in OO design). What is not possible is
this:

class.php
<?php
class foo{
include('/path/to/body.php');
}
?>
body.php
<?php
function bar(){echo 'foobar';}
?>

or this:

file1.php
<?php
class foo{
?>
file2.php
<?php
function bar(){ return false;}
}
?>
glueclasstogether.php:
<?php
include('file1.php');
include('file2.php');
?>
