In your PHP file, set $thisPage before you include('nav.php');. Then, the variable $thisPage will be passed to nav.php and processed in its if statement.
This is really bad practice though, and a better way of doing it would be by creating your menu in WordPress itself and hooking it into your template. WordPress documents how to do this well.
