Right now, i have found this solution by adding
extract($GLOBALS);
to the top of my function.
I would now like to somehow get the variables inside the include file
back into the global variable scope, making this function work just
like a normal include file. Is that possible?

It has something to do with variable scope and accessing globals or
something, I'm not sure. My question is how should I setup my class so
that I do not have to use "return" at the bottom of any files I want
to include with my class? I want the includes to function just like
normal includes.

but that still doesn't make $foo print "bar".

Thanks for any help on how to accomplish this.
