I would recommend using your .htaccess file, or ini_set, or something
else to set your include_path variable to contain
'/usr/home/sites/www.walkereffects.com/' or something like that. Your
include() call can then just look like:
<? include('web/test/include.php'); ?>
and it'll work from anywhere, regardless of where the file that's doing
the including is located [1].
As a bonus, if you ever change hosts, or your host re-organizes its
directory structure, and all of your includes rely on the include_path,
simply re-set include_path, and your site works again.

[1] Of course, the order of directories in your include_path matters,
too. If it contains '.:/usr/home/sites/www.walkereffects.com/', then a
file matching in the current working directory will take precedence over
the one in your site root. So keep that in mind...
