I don't think include_once is THAT smart... Or maybe it just assumes you are using include_path in a sane way and not doing this in the first place... :-) include and include_once have nothing to do with the current file. They ONLY look at your include_path. Your include_path MIGHT (and probably should, in many applications) have '.' as one of the directories in it. But even then, I believe '.' simply means current working directory, so unless you are dinking around with http://php.net/chdir (which you probably shouldn't, usually) then it's just gonna be the ONE directory of the very first PHP file loaded, no matter where all the other files are.
