This seems like the right thing for PHP to do, in my opinion.

I hate to sound unsympathetic, but a warning seems appropriate. PHP will
still do what you're wanting, but there's no reason to have multiple
session_start() calls, so it's just letting you know.

It seems like you have your error reporting set very strict, but you want
your code to be sloppy. You have to pick one or the other. If you don't
care whether your code is sloppy, set your error reporting differently.
