different bug - define constants/includes (was Re: [PHP-WIN] class and dynamic includes (IIS))

I did some tracing on this bug I was experiencing. With this code at the top of an include file, the results are unpretictable. if(!defined("METABASE_MYSQL_INCLUDED")) { define("METABASE_MYSQL_INCLUDED",1); ...rest of include file... } require_once(); seems to work though.
