First of all I must say that I don’t think this is a wordpress related question. That said I hope this following suggestion helps you go in the right direction…
Basically the include("xxx-xxx.php");
already tells you where to put the xxx-xxx.php
– in this case it should go into the same directory where the ‘parent’ is located.
If instead it looked like this: include("incl/xxx-xxx.php");
then the xxx-xxx.php
should instead go into the subdirectory “incl”
