It doesn't. Some of the file-related functions have that capability and some don't. 
This may be what you're looking for:

function file_exists_in_path($file) {
        foreach(split(':', ini_get('include_path')) as $dir) {
                if ($dir[sizeof($dir)-1] != '/') { 
                        $dir.='/';
                }
                if (file_exists($dir.$file)) {
                        return TRUE;
                }
        }
        return FALSE;
}
