Comment (by nacin):

 I am all for dirname() over relative paths, but I'm not sure I see the
 benefit to switching to require_once. Once we patch this, we end up
 requiring ourselves to stick to a convention in the future. Including an
 entry file is dirty, and I would rather switch across the board to
 require().

 What's the situation exactly? There are functions in wp-login.php that
 should be in an include file -- we should move them, rather than patching
 a symptom.
