 Hi Helened,

 Why are you trying to include this file inside the function? Doing this
 will make WordPress execute like this -

 {{{
 function site_startup() {
     //Entire WordPress code
 }
 }}}

 That means the entire scope of WordPress will come into this function.

 From the discussion on PHP's `require()` documentation page -
 http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.require.php#87191

 > require executes the code "as if" it was code written inside of the
 function, inheriting everything including the scope.
