Can some experienced PHP users help me here, please:

When I first installed PHP with Apache 1.3x, we specified the 'include' path directive
to be 'above' the web server's root, so that a browser could NOT access it, and, all 
the
PHP inc files were placed there, inaccesible to any brower.

looking at variety of php scripts/apps, these come with an 'includes' directory below
the application directory 

(so, a brower could go there.)

I always used to move the 'includes' dir to the outside-of-web-server-root php path
(and, modify the scripts accordingly)

BUT, now, as just about any php app has the 'include' below tha application path:

so, is there a need to have php's inc files outside the web server root ??

am I wasting my time moving the inc files and modifying scripts ?
or, is it still a good idea ?
