 If you imagine a file requiring files that themselves require other files,
 you get a tree of requires. The path is always relative to the root of
 that tree!

 This is the reason why we need absolute paths, enable by

 require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . "/relative_path_to_file");

 for example

 require_once(dirname(__FILE__)."/../http/php/database-pgsql.php");


 In a standard Mapbender installation, not using "dirname" will do no harm,
 but in complex projects with weird folder structure, it will.
