FYI: I've tested this on Windows XP, Vista to get the results for 
windows, and Centos 5 for linux results

I can confirm this is a problem using 
http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/php-5.3-nts-win32-VC9-x86-
latest.zip  that i downloaded now. 

The problem occurs when the symlink (typically used by Vista/Server 
2008) is a folder or a file, or a folder junction (Used by WinXP/2K) 
is used.

Description:
------------
PHP does not resolve symlinks (On Vista) or Junctions (windows 2000) 
on windows when including files

Create index.php and test.php as shown below, then create a symlink 
on Vista using:

mklink test2.php test.php

Note: this test case illustrates symlinks, but that Junctions created 
on NTFS volumes also have this problem.

Reproduce code:
---------------
index.php:

<?php
include_once('test.php');
include_once('test2.php');
include_once('test2.php');

test.php:

<?php
echo "i'm included ";

Expected result:
----------------
Expected on Linux:

i'm included

Expected on Windows:

i'm included

Actual result:
--------------
Actual on Linux:

i'm included

Actual on Windows:

i'm included i'm included
