To Robert: It means that the file is included there,
but the code from the file is not executed, because some
condition (eg. an if statement).

if ($foo) {
    require "foo.php";
}

This code (as the manual says) will __always__ 
load in foo.php and will replace the require
statement with the contents of that file, but
this content is only executed if $foo is true.

It is correct the way it is.

Quoting the fifth paragraph of the English language version:

"Unlike include(), require() will always read in the target file, even if the line 
it's on never executes. If you want to conditionally include a file, use include(). 
The conditional statement won't affect the require(). However, if the line on which 
the require() occurs is not executed, neither will any of the code in the target file 
be executed."

I think the last line is contradicting the first line :
FIRST LINE : "...require() will always read in the target file, even if the line it's 
on never executes."
LAST LINE : "However, if the line on which the require() occurs is not executed, 
neither will any of the code in the target file be executed."

This the same in the Dutch language version.

IMHO the last line should read : 
"However, if the line on which the include() occurs is not executed, neither will any 
of the code in the target file be executed."
