Tony,
Calm down. It may take us 21 minutes to respond sometimes, but we

Is there a specific reason you're using require_once() instead of
include_once() ? There actually is a difference.... include() and
include_once() will only include the file if that line of code is
executed, whereas require() and require_once() will include the file
even if the line is inside of an if() {} block for which the
condition(s) are never matched.

Of course there is. For example, say you're in a laterally-equal
directory as one from which you want to include a file.
<? include('../otherdir/file.php'); ?>
As long as you have permissions to read the files, you're good to
go. My guess is that you may have done the relative linking
improperly. Is the file actually `web/includes/support.php` called
from `web/index.php`?
The other thing I would suggest is making sure your target include
directory is a real directory and not a symlinked directory.

If at first you don't succeed, stick to what you know best so that you
can make enough money to pay someone else to do it for you.
