Leszek,

Simply put, php programs are actually scripts which get interpreted from
the top down ( barring any inline methods ).

A simple example I think will illustrate your problem (or lack thereof).
The code for the 3 scripts is below.

//file test.php
<?php

include("test.inc-1.php");
include("test.inc-2.php");

echo "<br />Done!";

?>


//file test.inc-1.php
<?php

for ($x = 0; $x < 100; $x++) {
for ($y = 0; $y < 50; $y++) {
echo '- ';
}

echo '<br />';
}

?>


//file test.inc-2.php
<?php

echo '<br /> Now in test.inc-2.php';

?>


If you run the script 'test.php' you will see that all of the output
generated from test.inc-1.php is produced before the output from
test.inc-2.php. I don't think that there is any question which script
takes longer to run.

Does this answer your question, or is there something I am missing.

Cheers,
Carl.
