[wp-hackers] Embed WP Post in Page outside WP. Tried, but getting error.

[Matt Patenaude]

Logically speaking, the file should be included just fine-- it's  
included from wp-settings.php, which is included from wp-config.php  
(which is included by wp-blog-header.php). Make sure the requirement  
is going to the proper file, perhaps? Other than that, I'm not sure.

Just my two cents. :P
