 Hi @swissspidy

 Right now theme developer needs to use php require and file path. like
 `require get_template_directory() . '/file.php';` OR `require
 get_parent_theme_file_path( '/inc/icon-functions.php' );`


 It will better, WordPress provide us a function to just add location of
 file inside a function and it will require. This is to include part of
 functions.php file. `get_template_part()` used to add part of a theme file
 like `get_template_part( 'template-parts/post/content', get_post_format()
 );`


 `get_parent_theme_file_path` function do almost same task but it does not
 require passed file instead it return proper path of file.

 PS: i am expecting a function like `wp_require_theme_file( '/inc/icon-
 functions.php' );` and it will do `require get_template_directory() .
 '/inc/icon-functions.php';`
