I never thought about this before, butnow that it came up, would it make
a difference if the database.inc.php was included in another included
file before this line

"require_once 'include/database.inc.php';"

or after (without a _once_). I would think that if it were included
first without a _once, then this current line would not be included
because it has a _once. If it occurs after this line, then it would be
doubly included because this line would be the first to include it.

If what I say is correct, then I would look in the code after this line.

What say you guys about my question?
