Some includes in the php-code do fail with following message:

Warning: Unable to access ./test.php in /home/ctheune/public_html/minicept/handlers/passthrough/handler.class on line 8

Fatal error: Failed opening required './test.php' (include_path='') in /home/ctheune/public_html/minicept/handlers/passthrough/handler.class on line 8

1. They file is world-readable
2. The same thing is happening when using absolute paths
3. The same file is accessible from another file which included the file that is failing to include.
Sample:

Case A:
File A:
<? include("./handlers/test.php"); ?>  - Works

Case B:
File A:
<? include("./handlers/test1.php"); ?> - Works

File B ( aka: ./handlers/test1.php ):
<? include("./test.php") ?> - Doesnt work

My Oppinion:

Is it possible that nested includes / requires sometimes won't work?

Best regards

Hmmmpf ... think i didnt check out everything ... 

is it possible, that the path to the includes is not shifted within an included file?

if file A is "/my/path/test.php" and it includes "/your/path/asdf.php", that if the second file includes "testyourself.php" not "/your/path/testyourself.php" but "/my/path/testyourself.php" is tried to be included?

No, the path is relative to the current script's path.
Could you please present the full pathes and include
structure that doesn't work for you?
