In this case I use:

<?php 
include_once 'connect.php'; # connect with MySQL database

# here PHP code wants to use MySQL connection opened before

    You don’t need to re-include a file if it’s within the same request/page.

    Also, using include_once will prevent you from including files that have already been included.

    You’re free to use again variables and connection previously included by your connect.php
