Comment (by convissor):

 Nacin: you are right that moving the login_header() and login_footer()
 some place else (such as wp-includes/functions.php) is a good idea.

 The move would not obviate the fact that wp-load.php can only be cleanly
 loaded once.  require_once is the most direct approach to ensure that.

 If you are trying to protect certain files from being directly included by
 plugins or other WP code, other means are available.
