does a directory out of the web root need to be in the INCLUDE ini setting to be accessible?

[NotGiven]

If you have a directory that is out of hte web root, do you have to incluid
eit in the php.ini setting for INCLUDE for it to be useable by web pages?

For example, if your directories look like:
/files/
/files/library/database_connect.php
/files/www/(website files here)

Would a page in /files/www/ be able to access
/files/library/database_connect.php wihtout /files/library/ being in the
INCLUDE setting of php.ini?

No. Any file on the system can be accessed by PHP subject to permission
restrictions.
