For portability, you may want to consider dirname(). This means
that, if that file is included from another directory, the ../ calls
are dynamic (relevant to the executed file, not the included file), so
it will break unless the directories are equal in depth.
Conversely, dirname() is static regardless of location. Thus:
<?php include dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)))); ?>
That will work regardless of whether it's the included file or the
executed file.
