As far as I see it this is expected behavior.

I'm assuming that you are running the file as index.php and thus the same file get's included again and again, recursively. Apache stops the recursive inclusion after 10 subrequests, which is the default value for LimitInternalRecursion.

PHP does not prevent recursive subrequests by itself as they are useful as long as you break out of the recursion at some point. For the same reason you can also include/require a file recursively.
