This may be obvious but... It should be noted that only _variables_ in the included file inherit the variable scope of the location that the include is made. This means that if there is a function or class in the include file and the file is included by a function or method, the function and class are global. If a file is included into a method and that file has a global variable, then that variable will only be available to that method -- not the whole class. Again, sorry if this is obvious but it rules out some possibilities such as adding methods to classes via include files.
