Hi,

You can probably use php's ini_set() to append to your include path, as
such:

$oldinc = ini_get('include_path');
ini_set('include_path', $oldinc.':/sites/mydomain-com/includes');

or what have you.  This is what I do at the top of a base class I have
all of my apps derive from.  Hope this helps.
