 normalisedError.xml:

 ?php
   return  END_XML
 the xml here
 END_XML;

 Then in your class your require_once line will work. However, use require
 instead of require_once otherwise if the function gets called twice it
 won't work the second time.

 Thanks for reading.

What is wrong with the require_once? I don't see why it would not work.
