Actually this does work:
//First_File.php
<?
    $test = "I am the test variable";
?>

//Second_File.php
<?
    echo $test;
?>

//Active file
<?
require "First_File.php";
require "Second_File.php";
?>

That would produce the output of :
      I am the test variable

An include or require just places the files' contents at the line you
include it. So after the includes(requires) my parsed code was:
<?
    $test = "I am the test variable";
    echo $test;
?>

Hope this helps
