It appears as if "include()" and "require()" cannot appear inside a class definition, but outside a class method. For example, the construct class A { include ('class_a_methods.php'); } returns an error (unexpected T_INCLUDE), but class A { function foo() { include ('class_a_foo_method.php'); } } works as expected. This is a slight annoyance if one wants to keep class code in manageable chunks. Please add this feature in an upcoming version!
