Warning: mysql_query(): 3 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource

I don’t know why the $GUconnection resource isn’t working on queries since I set it up as a global variable. The db connection is

$GUconnection = mysql_connect(serverip, username, password);
@mysql_select_db(dbname, $GUconnection) or die('Cannot connect to the database.');

The following query is located in an include file that is included in the file containing the mysql connection above:

global $GUconnection;    
$GUresult = mysql_query("SELECT field FROM `tablename` WHERE field = 'hey' LIMIT 1", $GUconnection);            
                if(mysql_num_rows($GUresult)) {
                    $GUfile = mysql_fetch_assoc($GUresult);   

                }   

The errors I got where

Warning: mysql_query(): 3 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/ on line 49

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/ on line 50

If I don’t have the include and just paste the query directly underneath the connection then it works. What seems to be the problem?
