Re: include question

I'm afraid you have not understood me completely: My only concern on this topic is: Will the user be forced to wait for the whole included php file to load, or the server will just take the desired function from that file? My goal here is to call different fragments of html code depending on user selection by using functions that have the echo command. I am only afraid of all functions from included file beeing loaded, and not only the called one. Is this the right way to approach this problem, or you would suggest smth else?
