No, you did not read my initial post correctly:
a file/directory starting with a / (like /test1) means it is in the
root-directory. All example pathnames where absolute pathnames, not
relative.
Here comes my listing for you:
/htdocs/:
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 18 22:23 ./
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Dec 18 22:23 ../
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 18 22:23 docs/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Dec 18 22:23 test2 -> /test1/
/htdocs/docs/:
insgesamt 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 18. Dez 22:23 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 18. Dez 22:23 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 18. Dez 22:23 docs.inc.php
/test1/:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 18. Dez 22:24 ./
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 18. Dez 22:23 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 18. Dez 22:24 index.php
Please note that test1 and test2 are not on the same directory level!

No problem when i try this with apache :
http://www.xxxx.com/sdv/test1/index.php
http://www.xxxx.com/sdv/test2/index.php
==> same output : docs ok
if you try this in command line.
3 cases :
- pwd= test1 : php index.php => output docs ok
- pwd= test2 : php index.php => output docs ok
- pwd= anywhere else : php ./test1/index.php : include(): Unable to
access ../docs/docs.inc.php which is quite normal
the include path is relative to the current directory where php is
executed not relative to the php script which is executed ...
isn't it ?

This IS a bug: in Linux (and Unix like systems) beeing in a symlinked
directory should behave exactly like beeing in a directory with the same
content.
To use my example: If I use a shell and change to the folder
/htdocs/test2 (which is a symlink to /test1), ls ../docs/docs.inc.php
will show me the file "/htdocs/docs/docs.inc.php" and NOT
"/docs/docs.inc.php".

quite normal : not a bug

Description:
------------
include statement seems to resolve the current working directory other
than the rest of php so if I am in a symlinked directory an try to
include a file using a relative path (containing ../), the include fails
because the original path of the script is used to resolve the relative
include and not the path the script is invoked from.
Reproduce code:
---------------
Asume the following files/directory structure:
Directory /test1
Directory /htdocs
Directory /htdocs/docs
Symlink /htdocs/test2 -> /test1
File /test1/index.php
File /htdocs/docs/docs.inc.php
DocumentRoot is /htdocs
File-Contents of /test1/index.php
<?php
include("../docs/docs.inc.php");
// ... other code
?>
Expected result:
----------------
No error, output generated by code after the include
Actual result:
--------------
An error: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
(/test1/index.php:2)
