Then it will be available globally. Actually, you're wrong again. The nested function, AKA function defined in the included source, will be defined as soon as the source is included and is available to the function in which the source was included. In fact it is even available to the code within the included source that can be run during the include process and before the function performing the inclusion regains control.
