Well connecting to a database, etc. does take overhead above and beyond
a function. So yes, it does save resources to include it.
And I am not completely sure of the way PHP handles things internally,
but I have noticed that functions don't cause PHP to yelp and moan
unless they are called (for some errors). Plus if a function uses
several kb of memory include_once or require_once() ing them /will/ save
resources on a server.
