Regarding this well-known quote, often attributed to Tim Tyler's famous

You could just drop a "definitions" script within your root path, and
include that from the included files:
<includes.inc.php> -----------------------------------------------
$_ROOT_INC_PATH_ = "/home2/bobdrilo/public_html/php-includes";
$_MYSQL_LIB_PATH_ = "$_ROOT_INC_PATH_/mysql/mysql-lib.php";
$_GRAPHICS_LIB_PATH_ = "$_ROOT_INC_PATH_/graphicslib/gfxlib.php";
$_TABLEGEN_LIB_PATH_ = "$_ROOT_INC_PATH_/tables/tables.php";
...
<includes.inc.php> -----------------------------------------------
then, call your includes with the variables:
<dostuff.php> ----------------------------------------------------
include("includes.inc.php"); // this is in the root includes path
include($_GRAPHICS_LIB_PATH_);
include($_MYSQL_LIB_PATH);
...
<dostuff.php> ----------------------------------------------------
