thats just silly.

it just isn't displaying errors, doing all this nonsense with file exists is a waste of time, just add two lines to the top of your script (that includes the file): error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors','on'); (or set these values in the php.ini if you have access to that) and look at what that tells you. You might not understand the error at first, but hopefully you will. My guess is that it will tell you it can't parse your included file.

right - waste of time - not displaying errors. I have documented a problem that has existed since php5beta3 - namely under certain conditions (only ever in big codebases in seems) a failed require statement will NOT GENERATE ANY ERRORS REGARDLESS OF THE RELATED INI SETTINGS AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP PROCESSING. (you might guess that this problem is a little annoying!) so the OP _may_ be a blithering idiot who hasn't turned on error reporting to full BUT there is a very good chance that php is borking on one of his includes/requires and crapping out WITHOUT any errors being reporting. so its seems like it should be nonsense but it reality there is a real issue the OP could walking into.
