Although your solution is valid, it's also costly to have to needlessly include an additional file every single request. By simply using the standard Regarding chaining function calls, yes my example was very obfuscated. However, I stand by the 3-parameter rule as a solid method of doing things. I do agree that as easily as there can be too many chained function calls, you can have too many temporary variables.. Also, although I cannot speak in regards to Lisp I must point out that in this case a comparison to C isn't valid. In C variables must be declared, etc. and perhaps in that situation can be more trouble than it's worth.. however in PHP, where variables can be created and assigned values without such hassle the impact is minimal.
