I have about ~200 files that use the behavior of the current
version. In some cases, to an (internal) advantage. I'll alter
the example a bit, to clarify the difference between my includes
and "page" files:
/www/site.com/include/file.inc
/www/site.com/include/config.inc
/www/site.com/index.php
/www/site.com/config.php
and add a few more:
/www/site.com/file.inc
/www/site.com/config.inc
/www/site.com/semi-seekrit/include/file.inc
/www/site.com/semi-seekrit/include/config.inc
/www/site.com/super-seekrit/include/file.inc
/www/site.com/super-seekrit/include/config.inc
Regardless of how we handle it , it may break code that relies
on the prior behaviours.... 4.1 might be good, in those
circumstances. I _do_ think it's "broken", but, unfortunately, I
do not share a brain with all of my coding staffers, so this
code style (error?) has crept in.
