Placing it in the include path could make it hard to run more than one version of the MW code on the same server, since both would probably find the same file and one of them would likely end up using the other
one's
$IP.
Very true, I've had once such case.
Another way of putting it is, is it really better to hard-code the absolute position of the MW root rather than its position relative to the files in it?
I've heard that relative paths in require() and include() can be tricky for nested inclusions in PHP (it works correctly only for very few levels of nesting when paths go "up" and "down"). Dmitriy
