 Replying to [comment:3 ryan]:
 > The plugin is now being loaded within activate_plugin().  When
 upgrade.php is included, it is not in global context.  We might need to
 sprinkle some "global" statements around.
 [[BR]]

 This is interesting. So a plugin including another file will also be
 within that functions scope, unless it was inside a function, then it
 would be within its own function scope.

 That is quite fascinating. However, the scope of it would be instead
 inside the plugin function, so the global should be declared there and not
 in the core file.
