#      WordPress function for require/include ?

 * I was wondering if anyone knows of a function to replace the require/include,
   because when I run the Developer plugin it gives me this message and I would 
   love to solve it.
 *     ```
       INFO: theme_options.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.
       Line 370: require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . '/admin/validate.php');
       ```
   
 * but I don’t think get_template_part() works with directories being as I get an
   error that my validating functions aren’t defined. Unless I have the get_template_part()
   code wrong, dunno?
 * `get_template_part( "admin/validate.php" );`
