While doing development on Respect/Loader a massive security vulnerability was discovered which has the possibility to have huge repercussions as it gives any include file scope to hijack the autoloader. see Respect/Loader#6 for more information. This fix will also prevent an included script from auto-outputting anything as a result from the include call which will prevent any unwanted source code from ever being revealed as a result of faulty tags or phising for information when a script manages to be included by someone trying to exploit the application.
