That's a completely separate subject. Any time a class or function is
conditionally defined, it cannot be cached and the opcodes to create the
class or function must be run on each request because we need the
execution context to determine whether or not the class or function
should exist. This has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not
they are in an include file. You can get a conditional function simply
by doing:
if($foo) {
function bar() { }
}
Or you may get it by conditionally including the file that defines it.
Note that the opcodes are still cached, it just means that the executor
has a bit more work to do on each request.
