I use include() to reduce code inside a script, if st. happens page1.inc will be included, else it includes page2.inc. In these included pages there a no variables from the origination script available.
I?ve to call EVERY variable from the basic script with $GLOABALS($var); - a function which tells php to use the environment from the originating page would be very useful.
ie.
that function should work exactly like include(), but using the environment from the origination script.

I forgot to write, that if the included page does inclusions too, it get very much more complicated.
If I want to use variable variables I have to call $$GLOABLS($var) and if the last included page, includes
another page.... it does not take long to see that every second word in the script is $GLOBALS(...)

Globals have nothing to do with included files.  Included files use the same variable scope.
The only time you need to use a global is when you are inside a user-defined function.  
Given this, your bug feature request makes absolutely no sense.
