Sounds like a maintenance nightmare :|
To answer his question though, variables not declared via the "global"
keyword and not accessed via the super global variables ($GLOBALS,
$_SESSION, etc) inherit the scope in which the include statement occurs.
Therefore, if in the included file all you have is:
$foo = 'foo';
Then it's scope is the function including the file.
