Ah, okay. With php4, we get multiple inclusion protection built-in with 
include_once and require_once, but otherwise this sounds familiar.

I guess I'm still just unclear on what you have in mind as collaboration. I'm 
always happy to try and work with people that are interested with interacting 
with Horde in some way.

To be honest, right now I personally don't really have one. I'd like it to be a 
bug/project/ticket tracking app, with hooks into Chora (our cvs viewer) so that 
you could see which cvs commit closed a particular bug - go directly to 
patches, etc. Also with links into a FAQ, so that closed problems (or open) 
would automatically show up in the relevant parts of a FAQ (and in searches). 
Stuff like that.
