My script uses multiple includes and the file names all have the same syntax. So instead of writing each individual include, I created an array which contains all the filenames

function LoadSections($sections)
{
	foreach ($sections as $key => $value)
	{
		include "mod.section." . $value . ".php";
	}
}

All the files load well except that I cannot access HTTP_GET_VARS and the isset() function always return false.

NB My includes work fine when loaded individually

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Then how come the isset function doesn't work with these includes?

I know you bogusified my report, but it doesn't make sense. I'm just telling PHP to write itself what I would normally write. How can this block the isset function and the _GET array?

Your example is including files inside a function so the included files follow standard variable scope rules.  This is why this is marked as a bogus bug and a support question.

function foo() {
  $var = 'blah';
}
foo(); var_dump($var); // NULL

$_GET will still be available as it's an autoglobal while  $HTTP_GET_VARS will not.
