in the documentation the following is noted:

require() is not actually a function in PHP; rather, it is a language construct. It is subject to some different rules than functions are. For instance, require() is not subject to any containing control structures.

I have found this statement ("not subject to any containing control structures") to NOT be true.  I get an error for the following:

class myclass()
{
    require("myfile.php")
};

I want to be able to include a function from another file that will become a method for the class.

Any suggestions?

no bug, it is simply not possible this way, only "var" and
"function" language constructs are allowed directly withing
class {}

the only way I see is passing your class and methods through
eval()
