"Obviously, you assume that www.some-BAD-site.com is running php."
No, in fact it is assumed that www.some-BAD-site.com is NOT running PHP and it provides raw PHP code to the server that runs the include statement. This is the essence of this security risk - the PHP engine will execute PHP code loaded from a different web site.
