<div>
yeah your right......<br />
<br />
In this file I include:<br />
&nbsp; include &quot;../includes/classes/Owner<wbr />.php&quot;;<br />
&amp;<br />
&nbsp; include &quot;../includes/classes/Email<wbr />.php&quot;;<br />
<br />
But the owner class also includes the email class.<br />
<br />
So are you saying that I do not need to include the email class in this file because it will be usable having included it in the owner class?

Right, once it's included, it's available throughout. &nbsp;But you can use the special include_once instead of include, so you don't have to worry about whether or not your included it already.
