When you include() a file, it has the same variable scope as the file it
was included from. So, if you have the following code:
$action = "Update";
include("modules.php");
Then you can use $action in modules.php and it'll be set to "Update".
modules.php will have the same variables as the file that included it.
I hope that helps...
