The fascinating thing about “include” is that it works like a function
although it is a statement. If the include is successful, it returns 1 by
default, otherwise FALSE. And if the include is successful, and the
included PHP script contains a “return” statement, then the value of the
“return” statement's parameter (for lack of a better word) is the return
value of „include“ if execution reaches that statement.

However, in general it is considered good style to omit the parentheses.
It is considered even better style to avoid include* and require* when
possible, in favor of autoloading.

See also:

<http://php.net/include>
<http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.including.php>
<http://pear.php.net/manual/en/pear2cs.rules.php>
<http://php.net/autoload>

Unfortunately, so far the difference between function-like statements and
functions has never been made clear using different, but consistent code
style in the PHP manual.
