I think you'd be forced to change calling of the function itself: safe_include( realpath('foo.php') ); Actually, that probably wouldn’t be much better. I think you’d be forced to change calling of the function itself:

safe_include( realpath(’foo.php’) );

I'm guessing it would fail for some cases in which a file with the same name is included, but from different directories (I know, this is typically poor form, but it sometimes happens). I think this would be safer for situations such as that: function safe_include($script) { static $included; $script = realpath($script); if ( ! isset($included[$script]) ) { include $script; $included[$script]=1; } } Have you tested safe_include() much?

I wouldn't do anything to avoid require_once() without some solid profiling data (e.g. XDebug) to show it would make an important difference. And if you have a huge codebase where only small parts are active at a time, perhaps __autoload() would be more useful. “Premature optimization is the root of all evil.”

seem’s that you won’t enter into the if.
maybe you think :
if ( ! defined(’SCRIPT_NAME’) ) {

nice post
