running php in sequence

I am using php in combination with ant to create a small automated build process. Will php run sequentially? What I mean is I have a series of modules or tasks: Example: //check out files include("modules/checkout.php") //zip up the files include ("modules/zip.php") etc Will php wait to execute the zip.php until the checkout.php has completed because in my priliminary tests, it doesn't appear to do this. If not, what's the best way to execute it?
