We have been using code like this for a long time:

test.php:
<?php
  include "test2.php";
  include "test3.php";

  foo();
  bar();
?>

test2.php:
<?php
  if(defined("_TEST2")) return;
  define("_TEST2", true);

  function foo(){
    echo "foo\n";
  }
?>

test3.php
<?php
  if(defined("_TEST3")) return;
  define("_TEST3", true);

  include "test2.php";
  function bar(){
    echo "bar\n";
  }
?>


With 4.0.6 we get:
-------------------
$ php test.php
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.6RC4
Content-type: text/html

foo
bar

With current dev we get:
------------------------
$ ./php test.php   
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.8-dev
Content-type: text/html

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare foo() (previously declared in /home/brianm/test2.php:6) in /home/brianm/test2.php on line 7

Reclassified.

Marking as fix before release

Reproduced with latest dev from php4win.com (04-Oct-2001).

Example can be reduced to:

test.php:
<?php
function foo() {}
include "test2.php";
?>

test2.php:
<?php
return;
function foo() {}
?>

This turns out to be due to another bug fix (9884), and will probably
end up being documented as a compatibility breaker in 4.1.0. 
I recommend that you use include_once instead.

I have a zend_compile.c that will allow the same function from the same file too pass through with a NOTICE rather than a fatal ERROR.  Is this of interest to anyone?  It is a good interim solution I think.

I worded that poorly, It in fact does not do the zend_hash_add the second time, thus keeping a function from ever being added twice.

Seems to be fixed in PHP 4.3.0-dev.
