What you need to pay attention to is the php.ini setting:
include_path
By default there is a value as '.' meaning relative to the calling
script. What might be a good idea is adding a path to the root of
your includes script to the setting (ie. /path/to/web_root) So
all inlucdes no matter what file is including them uses the same
syntax.
index.php: include_once('classes/globals.php')
dbase.php: include_once('classes/globals.php')
controller.php: include_once('classes/dataaccess/dbase.php')

You might want to consider moving your included files outside your
public web tree:
home (dir)
+-web root (dir)
| |-index.php
|
+-include root (dir)
+-classes (dir)
| +-interface (dir)
| | |-controller.php
| +-dataaccess (dir)
| | |-dbase.php
| |globals.php
Then set the php_include path to
/path/to/include root/
Then all your include/requires are made relative to the include
root.
