I'm quote from PEAR coding standard: "Always use <?php ?> to delimit PHP 
code, not the <? ?> shorthand. This is required for PEAR compliance and 
is also the most portable way to include PHP code on differing operating 
systems and setups." (http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.tags.php)

But, if we agree with <? ?> that's fine, because I usually use that too :)

Other suggestion: When we need to unconditional including files we must 
use require_once and when conditional including files we use 
include_once. This will ensure that files are included only once. (from 
PEAR coding standard too :) )
