Comment(by hakre):

 {{{wp_mail()}}}, the function which takes care of the include of {{{/wp-
 includes/class-phpmailer.php}}}, is a so called plugable function.

 You can replace it with your own implementation that takes care to not
 load phpmailer a second time.

 Additionally and more easily than writing your own mail function, you can
 hook into {{{wp_mail}}} filter and execute {{{$GLOBALS['phpmailer'] = new
 PHPMailer();}}}. That will prevent wordpress to include the file {{{/wp-
 includes/class-phpmailer.php}}}.
