SKIPIF and include problem for an extension test with phpt

Hi, I have a test I'm trying to add to an extension where, if there's a local include file with some constants defined, I will want to run this test. If not, then skip the test. In the SKIPIF section, I'm trying to include something that will always be there and it, in turn, is trying to include another file if it exists. The problem I'm having is the defined(<constant>) doesn't seem to be returning what I expect, as even if it is defined (or should be) the test isn't skipped. Is there something special about includes from the SKIPIF section that would cause a problem here? If no, how can I diagnose what's going wrong? The output from the SKIPIF doesn't appear in any of the output files from what I can tell. The SKIPIF is here: https://github.com/ingenthr/php-ext-couchbase/blob/phpt-problem/tests/035.p hpt#L3 and the include file that gets copied over and edited locally is this: https://github.com/ingenthr/php-ext-couchbase/blob/phpt-problem/tests/couch base.local.inc.dist Thanks in advance for any help.
