I read that in the manual too, but I have never understoud how it really works. I use require_once in function and the files I include have many class and function definitions in it (I include them when I really need them to make things faster). So when I try to imagine how it works, I feel that it shouldn't. Becuse if I put the files in place of the require_onces I would get a code like this: function foo() { class foo2 { function foo2() { ... } ... } class foo3 { ... } ... } And it looks strange, but it works well, I use it frequently. Does anybody know why is this code works actually? Thanks, Arpi p.s. of course it's only a theoretical question. I don't have to understand really, but it's good to know what I rely on.
