You said:
---
<?
php require_once './css.php'; /* css.php contains
doctype, meta & css needed universally */
?>
---
You are mixing your DOCTYPE and other header information with CSS. Not
a good idea.
As for validating - you could have your entire PHP file be include()
calls, each one including a different file containing one line of PHP or
HTML code. The final product will validate. But that doesn't mean it's
a good idea.

This has nothing to do with PHP. Your problem is a lack of
understanding on how to correctly structure your pages. You could have
exactly the same problems if you were using Perl, Python, Ruby on Rails
or even SSI.
That's why I'm suggesting you start with HTML, CSS and Javascript
newsgroups. You need to learn how to properly structure your pages.
