In fact, I believe that what you are describing is an OLD behaviour (prior to PHP 4.0.2, in fact). However, the manual has only recently changed to document the new behaviour (and actually doesn't do it very well, yet). Now, BOTH require and include (and their _once versions) work dynamically, and the only difference is in how they report a failure. Cheers!
