Jose,

Because I have a static main file, module.inc, which I can't modify.  
All that does is check to see if the include file exists, and if it 
does, it includes it.  All my other checks need to be done in the actual 
module include file ... which is why I wanted to include ANOTHER file at 
the top of that that does checks....
