How to find out if I am included?

Steven Haryanto,

I am looking for the equivalent of Python's:

 if __name__ == '__main__':
     # i am invoked directly
 else:
     # i am included from some other file

Currently I use:

 if (!in_array(realpath(__FILE__), get_included_files())) {
     # i am invoked directly
 } else {
     # i am included from some other file
 }

but wonder if there is a simple, faster, more elegant way (builtin 
support from PHP perhaps?)
