Not true. www.php.net/require_once
The way I understand it (maybe you know something I don't?)
require/include_once only prevent an included file from being included
MORE than one time, hence the character string _once tacked onto the end
of include() and require().
It does NOT however include a file only when it's needed, it merely
includes it once.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Chris.
