Comment:

 See @nacin's comment:4:

 > The include graph for WordPress is something like 100 files so
 [require_once] will definitely be worse for performance, even if barely
 measurable.
 >
 > Additionally, if we change this, we then have to agree to maintain the
 use of require_once always. That kind of commitment (when it doesn't
 benefit us) is difficult to agree to or maintain.
 >
 > More importantly, though, I disagree that require_once is an increase in
 code quality. It can hide problems, silly code, and errors; and indicates
 to me a decrease in quality, if anything.
