[dev] Fwd: include vs include_once in Horde_Autoloader

It sucks.

The specific issue is with classes located in the root of the lib/  
directory. i.e. Kronolith_Day is defined in the file  
kronolith/lib/Day.php. If kronolith was at any time pushed on the  
stack during the current request, then kronolith/lib is present in the  
include_path. The result of this is that something like:
<code>
if (class_exists('Day')) {
...
}
</code>

in an external library will result in kronolith/lib/Day.php being included.




Thanks,
