New Comment:
This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation
better.
"about it" means "about functions defined after return".

Description:
------------
The documentation page for the include() construct states
that:
"If there are functions defined in the included file, they
can be used in the main file independent if they are
before return() or after. If the file is included twice,
PHP 5 issues fatal error because functions were already
declared, while PHP 4 doesn't complain about it."
However, PHP 4 _does_ "complain" (which it should) about
it as demonstrated below. Therefore, I believe the second
sentence in the quote above should read, "If the file is
included twice, a fatal error is issued because functions
were already declared."
Reproduce code:
---------------
a.php:
<?php
include("b.php");
include("b.php");
?>
b.php:
<?php
function foo() {
echo "I've been included!\n";
}
?>
Running a.php, PHP 4.3.4 dies with:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare foo() (previously declared in
/tmp/b.php:3) in /tmp/b.php on line 2
