i always reference includes absolutely so $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 'path/to/file.ext' 9obvioulsy check if $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] has the trailing forward slash - if not you'd need '/path...'.

 

In doing so - should you need to move/copy then its straight forward.

 

As you are including a class file - why are you not using the __autoload function?
