That's what it looks like. I can't find anything in the documentation or
on the 'Net that describes such a condition. That's why I originally
posted the question.

Out of long habit from other languages I'm used to simply listing all
dependencies at the begining and letting the compiler sort things out.

I want the failure that "require" provides, but don't want to have to
map out all these class file dependencies so laziness demanded
"require_once". :-)

Still learning the quirks of PHP. Every language has them.

(Now C++... yikes! That's a very quirky language. Once you learn where
the "Don't Do That" rule applies, it's fine. I'm NOT trying to start any
stupid language flame fest. Just saying that language was the one that
gave me the most heartburn to date.)
