Estructuras de Control
If you include a file that does not exist with include_once, the return result will be false.
If you try to include that same file again with include_once the return value will be true.
Example:
<?php
var_dump(include_once 'fakefile.ext'); // bool(false)
var_dump(include_once 'fakefile.ext'); // bool(true)
?>
This is because according to php the file was already included once (even though it does not exist).
include_once()
La función include_once() incluye y evalua el fichero especificado durante la ejecución del script. Se comporta de manera similar a include(), con la única diferencia que si el código ha sido ya incluido, no se volverá a incluir.
include_once() debería de usarse en casos en los que, un mismo fichero puede ser incluido y evaluado más de una vez durante la ejecución de un script, y se quiere estar seguro que se incluye una sola vez para evitar problemas con redefiniciones de funciones, valores de funciones, etc.
Para consultar ejemplos que usen include_once() e require_once(), ver el código de » PEAR incluido con las últimas versiones de PHP.
Note: include_once() fue incorporado en PHP 4.0.1pl2
Note: El comportamiento de de include_once() y require_once() puede que no sea el esperado en sistemas operativos en los que mayúsculas y minúsculas se traten igual (como en Windows)
Example #1 Con include_once() no importan las mayúsculas y minúsculas en Windows
<?php
include_once("a.php"); // this will include a.php
include_once("A.php"); // this will include a.php again on Windows!
?>
Warning
Versiones de PHP para Windows anteriores a 4.3.0, no soportan el acceso remoto a archivos para esta función, no funcionará ni activando siquiera allow_url_fopen.
Ver también include(), require(), require_once(), get_required_files(), get_included_files(), readfile(), y virtual().

For include_once a file in every paths of application we can do simply this
include_once($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "mypath/my2ndpath/myfile.php");

If you are like me and make heavy use of the __autoload magic function, always set include paths so you can just instantiate your class, and have multiple locations and name schemes for your custom libraries then you might be frustrated by simple parse errors being supressed when using @include_once('lib.php').
The solution I came up with was:
define('IN_PRODUCTION_ENV',FALSE);
function __autoload($class){
$paths = array();
$paths[] = "{$class}_lib.php";
$paths[] = "{$class}_inc.php";
$paths[] = "{$class}.php";
if(IN_PRODUCTION_ENV){
foreach($paths as &$path){
if((@include_once $path) !== false){ return; }//if
}//foreach
}else{
// we are not in a production environment so we want to see all errors...
$include_paths = explode(PATH_SEPARATOR,get_include_path());
foreach($include_paths as $include_path){
// go through each of the different class names...
foreach($paths as $path){
// attach each class name to the include path...
$include_file = $include_path.$path;
if(file_exists($include_file)){
if((include_once $include_file) !== false){ return; }//if
}//if
}//foreach
}//foreach
}//if/else
trigger_error("{$class} was not found",E_USER_ERROR);
}//method
Now, just make sure you define IN_PRODUCTION_ENV to true or false to get either the slower (with all parse errors shown) or the faster (just suppress everything) autoloading. Hope this helps someone else since it was annoying just having blank screens show up when I had a simple parse error. Thanks to flobee at gmail dot com for providing me with the epiphany on why pages were showing up blank...-Metagg

Since I like to reuse a lot of code it came handy to me to begin some sort of library that I stored in a subdir
e.g. "lib"
The only thing that bothered me for some time was that although everything worked all IDEs reported during editing
these useless warnings "file not found" when library files included other library files, since my path were given all relative to the corresponding document-root.
Here is a short workaround that makes that gone:
<?php
// Change to your path
if(strpos(__FILE__,'/lib/') != FALSE){
chdir("..");
}
include_once ('./lib/other_lib.inc');
// ... or any other include[_once] / require[_once]
?>
just adjust the path and it will be fine - also for your IDE.

Dealing with function redefinitions
include_once and require_once are very useful if you have a library of common functions. If you try to override with - that is define - an identically named local function however, PHP will halt noting that it cannot redeclare functions. You can allow for this by bracketing (within the include file):
function myUsefulFunc($arg1, $arg2) {
... }
with
if (!function_exists('myUsefulFunc')) {
function myUsefulFunc($arg1, $arg2) {
... }}
Top level functions (ie. those not defined within other functions or dependent on code running) in the local file are always parsed first, so http://php.net/function_exists within the included/required file is safe - it doesn't matter where the include statements are in the local code.

i already had a discussion with several people about "not shown errors"
error reporting and all others in php.ini set to: "show errors" to find problems:
the answer i finally found:
if you have an "@include..." instead of "include..." or "require..('somthing') in any place in your code
all following errors are not shown too!!!
so, this is actually a bad idea when developing because paser errors will be droped too:
<?php
if(!@include_once('./somthing') ) {
echo 'can not include';
}
?>
solution:
<?php
if(!@file_exists('./somthing') ) {
echo 'can not include';
} else {
include('./something');
}
?>

Inlude_once can slower your app, if you include to many files.
You cann use this wrapper class, it is faster than include_once
http://www.pure-php.de/node/19
include_once("includeWrapper.class.php")
includeWrapper::includeOnce("Class1.class.php");
includeWrapper::requireOnce("Class1.class.php");
includeWrapper::includeOnce("Class2.class.php")

Something to be wary of: When you use include_once and the data that you include falls out of scope, if you use include_once again later it will not include despite the fact that what you included is no longer available.
So you should be wary of using include_once inside functions.
