 * Hello, guys!
 * When you’re working with theme framework e.g. Thematic, there are a lot of files
   included from separate folders, but Theme Check recommends to include this files
   using [get_template_part()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_part)
   which can’t be done, because **get_template_part()** only includes files from
   theme folder. Any idea how can we include files more WordPress way from separate
   folders?

 * It is not recommending anything.
 * > INFO: functions.php The theme appears to use include or require. If these are
   > being used to include separate sections of a template from independent files,
   > then get_template_part() should be used instead.
 * Its perfectly fine to use require/include to include php code.
