Hello, Does any included file in PHP have a unique identifier? (like a stack of includes identifier). If the files names are different, then __FILE__ can be used as an identifier. But if a file was included by itself, then __FILE__ is the same, tho there are 2 different includes of the same file. Example: === a.php <?php echo "\nRunning ".__FILE__." (id=X)!\t"; if (!$visited) { echo "You are visiting here!"; $visited = true; include(__FILE__); } else { echo "You have been already visiting here! (Bye)"; } ?> -thanks, Eli
