Yes that is true. But I would strongly recommend against doing that.

You should never include anything over HTTP. Its extremely messy, 100%
insecure and just a very very bad idea.
 

My spontaneous reaction is to agree with you. On the other hand, are 
SOAP or XML-RPC over
HTTP any more secure in principle? You would need some kind of 
authentication, of course,
unless you just love exposing your code.

It's a weird concept, but I was trying to give the guy who started the 
thread the benefit of the doubt. Maybe
he has a good reason for doing it. Maybe the people who implemented this 
feature in PHP had a good reason for
implementing it.

You should have all the files you need to include located on your web
server.
 

Yes, I don't know why you would want to keep them on a remote server.
