I might be revealing my lack of knowledge about PHP here but why is
that invasive and why do we use $IP in includes in the first place? I
did some tests here:
http://gist.github.com/310380
Which show that as long as you set_include_path() with $IP/includes/
at the front PHP will make exactly the same stat(), read() etc. calls
with relative paths that it does with absolute paths.
Maybe that's only on recent versions, I tested on php 5.2.
