You are correct. It is the GroupTest::addTestFile() method (it does an 
include() within that method). Either mark the variable as global 
everywhere (as Jason suggests), or include the test cases file in the 
group test file as you would normally and use GroupTest::addTestCase() 
on each test case by name.

The first option is safest, but the second saves changing the code under 
test.
