The safe_mode_include_dir as it's name suggests is specifically
tailored to allow include/require exceptions that are READ only. If
what you ask is to be implemented it could open a number of security
holes by allowing write/create/overwrite access to execluded
directories. The corect solution would be to add another directive
where you could specify a list of excluded directories inside user will
have full access regardless of safe_mode. Since this already more of a
feature request rather then a bug I am marking it as such.

Just for the record, I wrote a patch for this to allow for paths to be
excluded from the safemode checks basically the same as the include
value does. Posted that the the developers list asking if anyone was
interested, enver got a reply, so I thought I'd add it in here for
completeness sake.
If anyone has any suggestions with what I can do with the patch,
let me know :}

I've got Apache 2 and PHP 4.3.0-dev on Red Hat 7.2 with /usr/share/pear
in safe_mode_include_dir and I get "SAFE MODE Restriction in effect.
The script whose uid is 502 is not allowed to access
/usr/share/pear/Mail.php owned by uid 0" etc., with 'require_once(
"Mail.php" );' and 'require( "Mail.php" );' and 'include( "Mail.php"
);' and 'include( "/usr/share/pear/Mail.php" );' and every other
variation I can think to try.

The current implementation of safe_mode_include_dir only allows
require/include functions to bypass safe_mode. I've began a discussion
on php-dev on whether or not this should be expanded to include other
file operations. If you have an opinion on the matter, make it known
there (php-dev).
