Operating system: WinXP Pro SP1
PHP version:      4.3.3RC3
PHP Bug Type:     Scripting Engine problem
Bug description:  nested require() not working, no error given

Description:
------------
This is kinda hard to explain, but here goes.
I have this directory structure:

/
/htdocs
/includes

I have a file in /htdocs (index.php) which includes a file
(base.class.php) in /includes which in turn includes another file
(config.inc.php) in /includes.

/includes is in my include_path and so I'm just using:

require('file');

Now, the problem seems to be that the variable in config.inc.php (its just
a single array of config options) is not visible in base.class.php unless
I use a relative path (require('../includes/config.inc.php');)

As I say there is no problem when using the relative path and no Fatal
Error if I'm not, just the Notice.

I haven't had time to come up with a test case (sorry) but if this is
indeed a proper bug I felt you might like to fix it before 4.3.3 final is
out. I can also confirm this behavior in a snap (4.3.x 200308050430) and
4.3.2 final.

I will come up with a test case and also test on FBSD asap (next couple of
days is my earliest)

Note: there seems to be no problems when there is no nested inclusion
involved (i.e. index.php requires footer.inc.php and can access its vars)

Reproduce code:
---------------
class base {
    function base() {
        require('config.inc.php');
        $this->_CONFIG = $_CONFIG;
    }
}

Expected result:
----------------
$_CONFIG should be assigned to $this->config

Actual result:
--------------
Notice: Undefined variable: _CONFIG
