I’ve got three files, a.php, b.php and c.php.

a.php:require b.php

b.php: require c.php

Can I use features from c.php in a.php? It’s not working for me, but I think I’m doing something wrong. W3 Schools, tiztag, etc aren’t helpful.

Real code:
default.php:
require_once(JPATH_COMPONENT.DS.'controllers'.DS.'easyblog.php');

/controllers/easyblog.php:
include JPATH_COMPONENT.DS.'helpers'.DS.'easyblog.php'

/helpers/easyblog.php
function getDefault()

I get the following error when I try to run this:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method xmlrpcHelper::getDefault() in /helpers/easyblog.php on line 43

(addendum: Could using require_once or includes mess this up?)

    From the manual:

    When a file is included, the code it contains inherits the variable scope of the line on which the include occurs. Any variables available at that line in the calling file will be available within the called file, from that point forward. However, all functions and classes defined in the included file have the global scope.

    “It’s not working for me” is not an error message – perhaps if you explained in more details what you were doing and why you thought it had failed you might get a more specific response as to why.
