If that's cut'n'paste from your script, then you have a typo in the extension.

Other than that, PHP can be set not to use "." for include dir - check your
php.ini for your include dir. Even then, files earlier in the include path
supersedes later ones, so if you have a "myfile.html" earlier in the paths it
will be included instead of the relative one.
