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").
