So imho in case you just need PEAR.php to throw an error this > is a viable solution. You usually expect a package to work, not to > fail, so in the success-case PEAR.php wouldn't be included (loaded, > parsed, compiled, ...) at all. Theoreticly speaking, Stefan is correct. Only including PEAR when you raise an error /does/ save on resources since all the read/parse/compile for PEAR.php is skipped. In this specific case, however, Net_Trackback depends on HTTP_Request which depends on Net_Socket which extends PEAR, so it'll get included anyway. Thus, for clarity's sake, I'd suggest to put the include PEAR in the top with the rest of the code :) Cipri
