Actually, I think I might have found a solution, although its not a very

include realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . "/" . "../include/global.php");

I've been attempting to write an application with a bit more ordered
directory structure than I normally use, and I ran into the rather
annoying problem with include() where relative paths are only based
off of the current working directory, and not that of the included
script. This makes it impossible to include script correctly, because
the path from the working directory is different than that of the
included file.
The problem is I'm trying to include
/include/global.php
from
/elements/nav.php
but topnav is included by
/index.php
Which results in a failed top open stream error. Is there any way
around this annoying idiosyncrasy?
What I do, and a lot of other folks I borrowed the idea from, is to set
a variable or constant, something like
define('INCLUDE_DIR', "include/")
in your index, or init file. Then when you need to do an include from
another included file you just do include INCLUDE_DIR."somefile.php" and
the path is set for you.
All file paths are going to be relevant to the first script hit, so you
can change the actual path to your include directory relative to that
script.
