In some respects it does because it means shortcuts are not allowed, it also means that someone trying to hack through your site is going to be held to a higher standard (ASP tags are cut off as well, the only thing recognized and executed is PHP). Even CGI scripts reside in their own directory and are called/executed from others. for instance most of my scripts/functions are run from a /share/php/functions directory instead of from the spot on the server.
