Description:
------------
Using latest PHP available for latest Ubuntu...
PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4  (APC 3.1.7)
(I checked the changelogs for versions 5.3.11~18, didn't see anything related to 
the problem)

The 'includes' files tree is like that

   ...includes/common/Class.inc
   ...includes/Client1 -> ../common
   ...includes/ClientN -> ../common
   ...includes/ClientX/Class.inc
   ...includes/ClientY/Class.inc

As you can see, there are 3 versions of Class.inc (each having a different 
inode, of course).
X and Y have one each, and common has also one which is used via symbolic links 
from clients 1..N.
But the 3 versions are identical (diff common/Class.inc clientX/Class.inc => no 
difference, for instance). The only reason there are 3 different versions, while 
it's not relevant to our problem, is because sometimes I want X and Y to try a 
new version before uploading to 'common'. But again, the 3 versions are 
identical since about a week ago. (Actually all 'inc' and 'php' files are 
identical, to make it clear)

Class.inc is a class definition (It contains only a class definition).

The NO problem:

  When ClientX&Y 'require' 'ClientX(orY)/Class.inc' there is no problem at all.

Problem:

  When Client1..N 'require' 'Client1..N/Class.inc'
    => No error, no warning in the log
  But the Class definition is not seen by requirer.php.

Investigation:

  After checking the apc_cache_info(), it appears that
    - 'ClientX&Y/Class.inc' are in the cache
    - 'common/Class.inc' is not

  Why the 'require' for Client1..N does not make APC load the file? 
  Why, if it can't, is there no error in the log?

  The only difference between ClientXY and Client1..N is the symbolic links...

Notes:
 - There are many other files in the common and ClientX,Y directories. Only 
Class.inc caused a problem, for some reason (class definition by itself?).
 - Class.inc is not used very often. Maybe the TTL (I use defaults) is of 
concern?


Test script:
---------------
index.php (same version for all clients)

<?php

  require CLIENT_NAME . '/Class.inc'; // define MyClass => No Error

  ...

  $x = new MyClass; 

  /* Error:
     PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Class 'MyClass' not found in /.../index.php
  */

Expected result:
----------------
The require to make APC to load the common/Class.inc file in its cache, interpret 
it and make PHP aware of the class.

Actual result:
--------------
- require does not produce an error
- MyClass is not known

Please try using latest APC.

What are you APC ini settings?
 [2012-11-05 10:09 UTC] i at kochira dot com 
It's a production env. using the latest (and updated) Ubuntu PHP/APC available. 
So, I don't want to take the risk to change the APC version now.
Also the new env was setup a week ago. This is the first time (today) I get such 
a problem reported (and only one file...). So it may not be easy to reproduce 
(again I suspect a TTL correlation.).

APC settings: (defaults +64M cache size)

I would suggest to have the so called staging server to test your environment. 
Many bugs have been fixed since 3.1.7 and some of them could be related to this 
one.
