Answer 1

Never, never, ever use include or require. Use include_once or require_once. There are a few small exceptions to this rule. But for the most part where ever your code says include or require, change it to include_once or require_once.

(Template engines and similar code within code oddities and workarounds for eval sometimes need the non-_once versions. But this not what you are doing.)
