File structure and code optimization is very important to keep systems maintainable. One way to do this is through the use of an include files that serves as a container that holds all of your other include files. Normally, you would have a shared set of includes as part of your source code. For example you can have a couple of PHP files, index.php for the home page and another file called categories.php. In both of these files you would include your shared set of files as so:
<?php
// These would be the include statements for index.php, categories.php, or any other *.php that you have
include(‘includes/functions.inc’);
include(‘includes/constants.inc’);
include(‘includes/mail.inc’);
include(‘includes/database.inc’);
// Add the rest of your include files here
// The rest of your code goes here
?>
