Description:
------------
I've been trying to use multiple levels of includes to create a kind of inheritance effect.  Each directory has an "init.php" which includes the "init.php" file from the directory one level above.  I was hoping to have this work, but after a few levels deep, I start getting errors like:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3840 bytes) in /www/php-example/1/init.php on line 2

Logically, I'm thinking this should work, since each include file will include the file from above and, so forth.

Reproduce code:
---------------
http://129.219.146.200/php-example/1/2/init.php

Expected result:
----------------
File name: /php-example/init.php
Current value of $path = /php-example/
File name: /php-example/1/init.php
Current value of $path = /php-example/1/
File name: /php-example/1/2/init.php
Current value of $path = /php-example/1/2

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3840 bytes) in /www/php-example/1/init.php on line 2

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.

Increase the size of memory_limit in the php.ini.
