See http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=7377 .

"Issue with dynamic inheritance and include order ..."

So it's certainly not FUD. Unfortunately there hasn't been any further 
feedback to this bug so for now I have to assume that this issue isn't 
going to be fixed any time soon. I don't have anything against APC but if 
it imposes rules about your coding style (eg no use of require_once) then 
that's a pretty big problem for anyone who tries to use existing code with it.
