Could you tell me however, if there is an advantage in using
"require_once" instead of "include".

Use require_once() or include_once() for including files with class or function definitions, to avoid an error if the same file would be included at some other place in your script.

Use require() or include() if you possibly want to include the same piece of code more than once.

Use require() or require_once() to include code that is essential for the functionality of the script (as failure of inclusion will cause the script to exit with a fatal error).

Use include() or include_once() if you want the script to be continued if the inclusion fails.
