() is meaningless in an include. But in PHP you can put () around just
about anything you want. Just like you can do: $a = ($b); There is no
point in the brackets there. The PHP parser simply uses brackets to
create precedence groups. So yes, you can do include("foo.php") if you
want, but you are just making the parser do extra work for no reason.
