You would probably be better served with changing the include_once to
require_once.

If there is a dependency, then using require will enforce it. E_FATAL
is produced if a required file is not available.

It should be available. Can you show the code you're using? Is the first
include being called within some form of if statement? That might
explain why it's not available when you expect it.
