i was looking at the index.php file and i have a question. how do they sort out what goes first and stuff.

The beggining is like this

PHP Code:

/ ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array('holiday');

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array(
    'userstats',
    'birthdaycache',
    'maxloggedin',
    'iconcache',
    'eventcache',
    'mailqueue'
);

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
    'FORUMHOME',
    'forumhome_event',
    'forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost',
    'forumhome_forumbit_level1_post',
    'forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost',
    'forumhome_forumbit_level2_post',
    'forumhome_lastpostby',
    'forumhome_loggedinuser',
    'forumhome_moderator',
    'forumhome_pmloggedin',
    'forumhome_subforumbit_nopost',
    'forumhome_subforumbit_post',
    'forumhome_subforumseparator_nopost',
    'forumhome_subforumseparator_post' 


well that means they are taking the templates out right? and then in the templates it has how the page should look like? so its sort of like a puzzle? and the templates are the pieces?

and when they say this

[code]require_once('./global.php');[code]

i dont get that
