Includes inside includes

I've written a class that is calling an include function to include a setup file. The problem is that the setup file is in another directory than the class. I'm including the file using: include ("../common/setup.inc"); Is there a way that i can make the relative path inside the class definition specific to the class definition, not the page that is including the class definition. I have trouble when I include the class definition. I get an error that it cannot include "../common/setup.ini" whenever the class is called from a directory above common. I hope this makes sense. and thanks for your help. Robbert van Andel __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing. http://photos.yahoo.com/
