optimising speed of code

Hi this is more of a general question regarding all the webassist include files. Does it matter which order the include_once are placed on each page - would arranging them in a certain way benefit access time? for example I have a page with the following:

<?php require_once('Connections/dinkydb.php'); ?>
<?php
require_once( "webassist/framework/library.php" );
require_once( "webassist/framework/framework.php" );
?>
<?php require_once( "webassist/caching/CachedResize_Image.php" ); ?>
<?php require_once( "webassist/security_assist/helper_php.php" ); ?>
<?php require_once("webassist/database_management/wa_appbuilder_php.php"); ?>
<?php require_once("webassist/email/mail_php.php"); ?>
<?php require_once("webassist/email/mailformatting_php.php"); ?>
<?php
if (!WA_Auth_RulePasses("LoggedIn")){
WA_Auth_RestrictAccess("login.php");
}
?>
<?php
//WA eCart Include
require_once("WA_eCart/DinkyCart_PHP.php");
?>
<?php
//WA eCart Include
require_once("WA_eCart/WA_eCart_Database_PHP.php");
?>

changing the order of the require once lines will have no impact.

Was just checking I was just thinking this while tiding up my code - I have OCD when it comes to neatness :)

neatness has nothing to do with how the php processor works.

the php processor processes each line one at a time, down the line from top to bottom.


it's going take just as much time to access the webassist/framework/library.php file for example whether it is the first or last include in the list.

:) I know that neatness has nothing to do with php processing time....my point was I just like to make my code look neat regardless of speed :) that's when I starting to think about include order. But you already answered that one for me :) Thanks Jason
