manual doesn't confirm that - besides most of my code wouldn't work if
require_once didn't use the include path...
actually some of my code really doesn't work :-) but when a require fails
its often obvious because there is NO output and NO error logged - but thats
just me. anyway I'm sure require_once uses the include_path.
