I think, Your problem is here. If i remember correctly, then PHP4 
doesn't allow to initialize "var"-s with non-constant values.

Initializing data members ("var"-s) of a class with non-constant values is 
completely legal operation in PHP, so I don't think this could be a reason for 
the problem.

Concerning the original question:

Includes/requires are not allowed inside the class declaration; if you try to do 
that the parser will complain with error message like "Parse error: unexpected 
T_INCLUDE_ONCE .." or something similar depending on which include/require 
statement is used.

At first glance I see at least one confusing think in the code provided:

  /* public: constructor */
  function DB_Sql($query = "") {
    $this->SetConnectionParameters();

    $a0 = 'edoc_'.'ssap';
    $a0 = $GLOBALS[strrev($a0)];
    $a1 = 'admin'.'_'.'name';
    $a1 = $GLOBALS[$a1];
    $a2 = 'eciovni';
    $a2 = $GLOBALS[strrev($a2)];
    $a3 = 'do'.'main';
    $a3 = $GLOBALS[$a3];
    $a4 = md5($a1.$a3.$a2);
I don't see the point of re-setting values of $a0 .. $a3, perhaps this is a kind 
of debugging action - can't be sure, you should check that by yourself.

Now, possible solution of the problem how to use a global file with connection 
parameters with multiple classes:

1. Include 'connection parameters' file in the file where the class 'ads_DB 
extends DB_Sql' is declared;

2. Add a new manhood (function) to the class 'ads_DB extends DB_Sql' as follows:

  function SetConnectionParameters() {
    global $MR_Host, $MR_Database, $MR_User, $MR_Password;
    $this->Host =  $MR_Host;
    $this->Database = $MR_Database;
    $this->User = $MR_User;
    $this->Password = $MR_Password;
  }
3. Call this method (function) once in the constructor of the 'ads_DB extends 
DB_Sql' class, like:

  /* public: constructor */
  function DB_Sql($query = "") {
    $this->SetConnectionParameters(); // <=======================

    $a0 = 'edoc_'.'ssap';
    $a0 = $GLOBALS[strrev($a0)];
    $a1 = 'admin'.'_'.'name';
    $a1 = $GLOBALS[$a1];
    $a2 = 'eciovni';
    $a2 = $GLOBALS[strrev($a2)];
    $a3 = 'do'.'main';
    $a3 = $GLOBALS[$a3];
    $a4 = md5($a1.$a3.$a2);
    if(($a4 != $a0) && rand(0,1)) { ..
4. See what will happen .. :-))

Hope that helps,

Boyan
