Bug #13163: Problems with including from within included files

From: colin@maven.com.au Operating system: PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: Problems with including from within included files There definately seems to be some issues with including or requiring files from within other files that have been included in the same fashion. Say I have a file called "test.php" in the docroot that includes "file1.php". The included file contains some class definitions which inherit from classes defined in "file2.php", so at the top of "file1.php" I have: include_once("file2.php"); This does not seem to work. It is finding the file correctly, but I receive "Cannot inherit from undefined class" errors. If I manually include "file2.php" within the "test.php" file along with the "file1.php", it works fine. Is this meant to happen, or is it a bug or known issue? -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=13163&edit=1
