What are common pitfalls when using PHP include statements in a loop?

Common pitfalls when using PHP include statements in a loop include potential performance issues due to repetitive file includes and the risk of including the same file multiple times. To solve this, it's better to include the file outside the loop and then use the loop to output its content. 

<?php
// Include the file outside the loop
include 'file_to_include.php';

// Loop to output the content
for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
    echo $content_from_included_file;
}
?>
