OK... Let me explain a couple things...

I see what you mean... but I use templating systems to separate code from
design, so I have to differ "PHP .inc" files from "HTML .inc" files ;-)

Of course, I do. My WWW root contains just a couple of files (like
application.php, robots.txt, favicon.ico etc.). All other included files are
stored outside document root.

Example something.inc.php:

<?php

define('DIR_SOMEDIR', DIR_ROOT . '/somedir/');

function someFunc($num) {
        return $num / 2;
}

class MyClass {
        var $_someVar;
}

?>

Get me? :-)

Agree completely. So what I meant is .inc.php is *not* a security measure,
but just a way to make my life more comfortable.

But seems that that is a question of taste in some way. ;-)
