You're right, that wouldn't prove my point. However, you might try a
little piece of code like the following:
<?
$a="foo";
$b="bar";
$c="foobar";
if ($a=="foo") {
include($b."php");
} else {
include($c."php");
}
?>
I hope this proves that includes are included at runtime because PHP
wouldn't know what $b and $c are beforehand. Apart from that, I'm
positive I read about it in a man page, but can't recall which, that's
why I didn't direct you to it ;-)
