You can get away without a include path set by ensuring that the path
is absolute eg:
If you have your data for your website as with FreeBSD in
/usr/local/www/data/
you then do the following to include:
** assume you have a "lib" directory in the /data/ area
** moving from platform to platform always has some impact on includes!!
include('/usr/local/www/data/lib/somefile.conf');
I hope this helps... the other way is to set the include paths etc!!
