And the variable is superfluous (except perhaps for debugging):

<?php
  echo file_get_contents('menu.txt');
?>

That is not equivalent to the above, because with `include' (or 
`include_once', `require', or `require_once') the content of menu.txt will 
be parsed (searched for <?php … ?> sections which will then be executed).

[I had stumbled over that difference while writing a code compactor for 
ECMAScript-based scripts and Cascading Style-Sheets.  It turned out that 
some of the stylesheets contained `<?' verbatim intentionally (property 
values were generated by PHP), and one test ECMAScript-based script 
contained it by accident in a regular expression.  Because the compactor 
(PointedEars' Resource Builder) had to be able to process those resources 
even with short_open_tag=1, the regular expression in the ECMAScript-based 
script had to be split up.  See 
<http://PointedEars.de/websvn/filedetails.php?repname=JSX&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fbuilder.php> 
for details.]
