I need to include a php file.. is it ok if it makes external connections (like to another database?) through the plugin system?

Thanks

Other connections should be OK if they use their own link identifier.

Would that be safe?

No - when querying for data, you are not using any link identifier. And in any case - I do not know how the connection is established, as that is in another file included.

If they are on the same server, why not use the "database.table" syntax?
