Neither is "better"
Now that PHP is being compiled to byte-code before execution, I don't
*THINK* there's any real difference...
If there *IS* a difference, it's about *WHEN* the code gets evaluated:
require would get evaluated only *ONCE* when it was first encountered, and
the results get pasted in.
include will re-evaluate the contents every time it is encountered.
