PHP Bug Type:     Scripting Engine problem
Bug description:  global variable not available when sourced by include()

Description:
------------
This is a somewhat complicated bug to demonstrate.  i have placed files
online so that the behaviour can be demonstrated.

Essentially, the bug is that when you include a php script using include()
with a relative url (not absolute), global variables used within a function
in the sourced code are not available.

this seems to occur only when the original include() is within a class or
function.  if it is in open code, it works find.

it's a complex bug and i'm not sure the best way to analyze.

Reproduce code:
---------------
http://1000camels.com/phpBug/

four files (and their source):

test-open-code.php - works
test-within-class.php - does not work
test-within-function.php - does not work

testMod.php - code which is being sourced

Expected result:
----------------
i expect the global variable to be available

Actual result:
--------------
the global variable (in my example $anObject and $aVariable) are not
available.
