There's the real confusion I'm having. If you use ../corn.php
it *appears* to then try
./include/../corn.php
then /usr/src/../corn.php
then error, whether the file was in any of those directories or
not (since those aren't valid directory references).
However, I see some includes I use with the extra path work and
some don't. I just wish they would document this so I knew for
sure.
