The only difference I can think of is that if you included everything at once, in function or whatever, then that's only 1 file open and read. if you're doing a bunch of includes all over the place, then your doing more file open and reads. Not sure if it really affects your script in the grand scheme of things. the actually processing of the code should outway most of it, anyhow...
