Comment (by ketwaroo):

 for example.

 wrapper.php in /path/to/site1.com/htdocs
 {{{
   define ('COREDIR','/path/to/wordpress/');
   // do some wrapper stuff
    include COREDIR.'/index.php';

 }}}

 index.php
 {{{
   require('./wp-blog-header.php');
 }}}

 A fatal error occurs as index.php is looking for wp-blog-header.php in
 /path/to/site1.com/htdocs. and as you said, ./ skips include_path so I
 can't set it in the wrapper.

 It's a rare case scenario, but still.
