Comment:

 I'm also unable to reproduce your problem.

 hakre: I think the issue is that you are wrong about the ordering of the
 files loading.

 wp-blog-header.php loads wp-config.php which then loads wp-settings.php.
 After all this is done, and you make it back to wp-blog-header.php, then
 it goes into the template-loader.php.

 wp-settings.php (and thus version.php) is loaded well before anything in
 the theme is. What's more, version.php is loaded before any plugins,
 before the my-hacks file, before the theme's functions.php file...
 basically before any normally user-modifiable code.

 In order for what you're saying to be true, you'd have to include rss.php
 well before any of that stuff, but you're saying that you're loading it
 via "a widget within my template" which doesn't work. wp-version is
 already set by that point.

 Now, you are correct that the function init() in rss.php is busted because
 it does not declare $wp_version as global, however the define at the top
 of the rss.php file prevents that from making any difference, since it
 prevents that code from executing anyway.

 Anyway, unless you can show a specific case that we can duplicate where
 $wp_version is not set by the time you require_once("rss.php"), please
 don't reopen this ticket.
