require includes code only once(on the parse), include includes code everytime it is called. if you have some libs and in two or more you do require or include of some core lib you have to use require_once or to define some constant and use it to check. I am sure when but require changed its behaviour. Before it leaded to fatal error if some the file that has to be required is not found. Now it works just like include (just notice or warning - not sure).
