possible to include(global.php) in a class?

[SaltedSlug]

For the purposes of this thread there's no difference between include, require, include_once and require_once.

Note that the error is not occuring in either of the files defined above - but instead in functions.php which is part of the vbulletin inner-workings. This means that the include/require is working up until the point where something about it being inside of a class construct makes Vbulletin go haywire.
