Travis, what David suggests should work for you. I've used the following
wrapper for including BOINC libraries:
function require_boinc($libraries) {
$working_dir = getcwd();
chdir('./' . drupal_get_path('module', 'boincuser') .
'/includes/boinclib');
if (!is_array($libraries)) {
$libraries = array($libraries);
}
foreach ($libraries as $library) {
require_once("{$library}.inc");
}
chdir($working_dir);
}
Granted, this is for including code in html/inc, which may or may not be
your intent, but it works even by chdir() to a symlink to the html/inc
directory.
P.S. Another issue I ran into with this--after the includes were
working--was with the scope of global variables. In a number of places,
variables were not "global enough" to be accessed from my code, so I had
to make explicit global declarations in the BOINC libraries in order to
be able to find them.
