I agree (c) would be swell but this is a function that I call from many different places and that would make it too hard to manage.

you mentioned it was 6 lines of code - replicating it and commenting the code (mention where it came from) if you need the speed doesn't seem like a big deal, however if you insist that the function must be used then you have just ruled out the possibility of using an include. unless you intend to make a call to your function from inside the include file, in which case that will be slower (your doing an include + a function call on every iteration). case closed?
