Is there a problem issuing multiple session_start()s for a given script? I can't find anything in the manual that says one way or the other.

Then you have not looked good enough ;-)

I have some scripts that call more than one functions include file and for convenience put a session_start() on each one. This gives me a "Notice" error.

You'll find this in the documentation of session_start(): "Note: As of PHP 4.3.3, calling session_start() while the session has already been started will result in an error of level E_NOTICE. Also, the second session start will simply be ignored." So there is no problem with multiple calls to session_start(). You can safely ignore the notice.
