 * I am creating my own theme and want to have multiple functions files. My main
   function.php file is set up like this:
 * if ( ! function_exists( ‘my_theme_setup’ ) );
    function my_theme_setup() { require_once(
   get_template_directory() . ‘/includes/theme-support.php’ ); } add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’,‘
   my_theme_setup’ );
 * …I require multiple functions files from the same “includes” folder, but you 
   get the idea.
 * My question is, should I be doing this with the theme setup hook shown above 
   or should I be using a different format? Because I would like to have all of 
   my theme support functions (e.g., nav menus, post formats, post thumbnails, etc.)
   inside the “theme-support” file that I am requiring in the functions.php file,
   and I know I need to be doing this with the above action. HALP!!!
