Unless you check something before attempting to include it, there will always be overhead.

PHP Code:


			
if (!defined('THISSCRIPT_H'))
{
    define('THISSCRIPT_H', true);
    // the rest of my code.
}

// included with:
if (!defined('THISSCRIPT_H'))
{
    require 'thatscript.php';
}

It won't get any better, especially since php includes off of the executing script, not the script including it. Hence why simply using _once and including it everywhere its needed is better.
