Comment:

 Okay, I could very well be inappropriately using the include, BUT there is
 still something weird going on (which may be a completely different issue
 than what I originally posted). I determined that this is somehow related
 to permalinks.

 The following code worked fine in WP2.3 with permalinks set to 'day &
 name', but does NOT work in WP2.5 with permalinks set 'day & name'. It
 does however work fine in WP2.5 if I change permalinks back to 'default'.
 So how does the permalinks setting affect this code working or not
 working?


 {{{
 <?php
 //Displays the title of the 3 most recent posts in the blog
 $posts_per_page = 3;
 require('./wp-blog-header.php');
 if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
 the_title();
 ?><br /><?php
 endwhile; else:
 endif;
 ?>
 }}}
