Description:
------------
Extended class compatible if declared in same file and "not compatible" if 
included from external script.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
    error_reporting(E_STRICT);
    class PassTest extends SimpleXMLElement {
	public function addAttribute($name, $value, $namespace = null) { } // no strict error here
    }
    $failtest = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'failtest-');

    file_put_contents($failtest,'<?php
	class FailTest extends SimpleXMLElement {
	    public function addAttribute($name, $value, $namespace = null) { }
	}
    '); // save save class declaration to file

    include $failtest; // PHP Strict standards:  Declaration of FailTest::addAttribute() should be compatible with that of SimpleXMLElement::addAttribute() in /tmp/failtest.php on line 5

Expected result:
----------------
[empty]

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Strict standards:  Declaration of FailTest::addAttribute() should be 
compatible with that of SimpleXMLElement::addAttribute() in /tmp/failtest-Ma1kNH 
on line 4
PHP Stack trace:
PHP   1. {main}() /tmp/simplexml-extend-strict-error.php:0

a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

a new feature of such warning improvement has been introduced in 5.4,  run the 
test script in 5.4 will find the reason:
