Literally. There's a variable called $IP which will hold the path to the
root of the mediawiki install.

That file shouldn't be there. As you can see [1] it doesn't belong to
mediawiki 1.9 Looks like an extension wrongly placed inside the includes
folder.
I would move it to extensions and do
require_once("$IP/extensions/SpecialTexbox.php"); or just remove that line.
And yes, removing the includes folder and placing there the 1.16 one is
in order (do not overwrite the old includes with the new files, that
leads to a folder with a mix of new files and -theoretically unused- old
files, which can bite you later).
