Why not just include java.inc first?  Then, even if it does use variables they you've set, then you'll overwrite the value and it won't be an issue.  I can't see any reason why you couldn't do the include at the top of the page.  I always put it just after session_start();

Sigh! My last attempt before giving up hope:

I have code like that roughly looks as follows.
 ---------------
 ...
 $version = '1.0.0'; // this may also - say - be passed in as
parameter.
 ...
 require_once(
);
 ...
 
 ...
 // followed my some other code, that expects to see the 
 // variable value defined at the begin (or being passed in):
 ...
 read_file('foo_bar_'.$version.'.xyz'); // supposed to read
'foo_bar_1.0.0.xyz'
 ...
 ---------------

then this code would now suddenly search for 'foo_bar_5.2.3.xyz'
(which most likely will not exist and hence this method fails), since
the innocently looking require_once(...) has modified the $version
variable during the check for the current php-version.

Why is it so hard to understand, that I simply ask, NOT to use a
variable called "$version"? As we have seen this is a very likely
variable name, may thus already exist and its modification can lead to
unexpected results. 

I guess your answer will now be: MY code should not use a variable
called "$version", but since this is code that sits in a third party
library that I do not want to modify (since I then would have to
repeat  that same modification in each new version) this is not an
option.

Hope I could make myself clear and if not I don't care any more...
