Comment:

 From the [http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php PHP manual]:

 > Files are included based on the file path given or, if none is given,
 the include_path specified. If the file isn't found in the include_path,
 include() will finally check in the calling script's own directory and the
 current working directory before failing. The include() construct will
 emit a warning if it cannot find a file; this is different behavior from
 require(), which will emit a fatal error.

 To make sure you always get the correct path, do this:

 `include( dirname(__FILE__) . '/options.php' );`
