It will probably behave the same way include does, which is correct behavior.
$file=include(whatever) is telling php to store the result from include in the $file variable, not storing a command in it. You could do $file='include()', and then you would wind up with a variable with whatever text you assigned to it.

Otherwise, I don't use vars to store includes in. I always use constructs like this: include('/path-to-file/file-name.inc.php'); But what happens when you put a file via fopen() driektive into an array? - Will it be parsed later on?
