Paul,

I'm not exactly sure of what your problem is here. But I think you may be
misunderstanding how PHP works.

First of all A.php is not "loaded into the browser". The browser may load the
page - but this means the PHP is executed on the server and its output
(generally html or xml) is sent to the browser.

Once it completes execution, all the PHP stuff is discarded (other than data
saved in $_SESSION). The next page loaded will start fresh.

So in order for C.php to know anything about document, C.php must include A.php.
