Neither, it's just logic really. The include() function sucks
in the file specified, dropping out to HTML mode to do so. The
included file inherits all of the properties of the one that included
it, such as current directory location, variable scope, etc.
The include function doesn't (and cannot) know you're including more
PHP code.
In short, never mess around with "../" in a directory of an include
file, that's pretty bad structure anyway IMHO.
