I'm not sure about others, but I am glad this behavior is like this. It is very nice for modules to "stand on their own" so to speak, so that you don't have to worry about what context they are used in. If the file you are including is plain HTML, would you want it to be parsed as if it were PHP? No, but if you had to include PHP in it (the closing ?> for example), it wouldn't be a plain HTML file anymore. You might have other applications in different languages using the same module that would now have to interpret PHP.
On the other hand, what about a PHP script that you want to include. Wouldn't it be annoying to get a parse error when you include it because of the double opening tags? Those are just a few thoughts. Happy hacking.
