- Including remote files *is* possible. The php manual does not mention this does not work, and when I add the variable to the call (include ..../calculate_drivers?serie_id=3.php) the code is processed perfectly. The thing is, I can not pass the variable with the call, because it's value is determined by the form field. I could use a switch statement of course, but that adds a lot more text to the code.

I just changed the code to (include .../calculate_drivers?serie_id=$serie_id.php) ... and this worked! Weird solution...

Not really. The http://.../foo.php request returns html and not php. The foo.php file is parsed and executed by the remote server and returned to you as html. By adding serie_id=xxx you actually give the remote php-script the name and value of the variable. You should think of include/require as a way to *include* any file into your script. Instead of cutting and pasting code into your file, you use include. Thats the way it works in practice. No magic is going on here :-)
