[snip] What is the best practice for correctly targeting 'include' paths when using Initialization/Setup classes that extend Parent classes? In my extend_parent_class.php file, I have to provide an incorrect relative path. Apparently, the path (that does work) is relative to php file that calls the initialization/setup class (call_the_extend_parent_class.php). Is there a less confusing way to correctly target include paths when creating initialization classes? Should I be using absolute paths instead?
